HYBRID STRIPERS IN SMALL WATERS

Body
What’s the hardest fighting fish you’ve caught in fresh water? Big catfish pull hard and long, largemouth bass battle hard but for a relatively short time, striped bass are noted for fighting right up until they are netted but have you ever connected with a good size hybrid striper? Hybrid stripers, like the hybrid “cross” of any two species take on the attributes of both species. Hybrid stripers are the offspring of striped bass female and male white bass thus, they are usually relatively easy to catch- like a white bass but they also inherit the brute strength and fighting ability of the striped bass.
