Is this a Hybrid?

bassn8ed · 11-29-2009, 11:05 AM

Took my grandson from Gulfport to Escambia and caught these on a crankbait.

Are they Hybrids, stripers or white bass?

they appear to be a hybrid striper due to the broken lines

Broken stripes equals hybrid.

Look like baby stripers.

Stripers can have either solid lines or broken lines. Most of the ocean ones we catch have solid. Most of the stocked landlocked ones have broken.

I disagree, having fished the Woodruff dam at Sneads I can attest that you can definitely tell stripes from hybrids .

my vote goes for hybrids .

interesting pic I've found -

From the pictures... the fish are hybrid striped bass. The FWC has stocked Escambia river with 451,000 hybrid striped, or striped bass fingerlings in the past 2 years.Fish are produced at the Blackwater Fisheries Center in Holt, Fl.Stocking sites are Jim's Fish Camp and Smith's aka Bluegill Bait/Tackle.Looks like someone is having fun...
