White Bass?
 

I caught this fish today at Bumpus Mills, it inhaled a 6" basstrix swimbait. I thought it was a white bass but my fishing partner thought it was a hybrid. I've looked at a few pics and in some, you can really tell them apart while in other pics, they both look about the same. Which one is it?

White as there are no lines going to the tail, Of course I'm guessing.

white bass, and a nice one!

Thanks!

I have to say, I almost went with hybrid because of its size and the fact it swallowed a 6" swimbait.

Looks like white to me but next time check the tooth patch. White only has one and hybrids and stripers have two.

I will be happy when they show up in the cove. Nice white bass.............woody

White bass.

Nice size white bass!

Dang, white it is LOL. I was kinda hoping the majority would say hybrid, that way I could have crossed it off my list of fish to catch ;)

Definitely a white bass and a good sized one! The easiest way to tell that from a Hybrid is the Hybrid has much bolder stripes and more than one stripe goes to the tail. On the white bass, only one stripe goes to the tail.

Thanks, I need to print this out and keep it in my boat.
