I attached for comparison a 20lb lake record hybrid from Tulsa.

Yea in that picture it definitely looks more like a Striper to me. I'd really like to see another picture of it with more of a side view. That should make it clear.

I found more info on the 20lb pic I attached for comparison.

Both it and the Percy one were 31.25" long but the other fish was 7" bigger in girth than the Percy fish even though the Percy fish weighed 2 oz more.

Either way a heck of a fish. There are some big hybrids in Percy.

The Tulsa fish is a hybrid, crazy thing is it really doesn't have broken lines.

I went out Friday to that cove and there was a bunch of boats there. I bet it would've been swamped today if the rain would've held off

One of my clients caught an unusual striper in 2003. (See 5th picture from the left She is wearing a red jacket) http://www.fishingtn.com/sigpic.jpg ... After examining the fish, it was missing (Never was there) the right pelvic fin, it had broken lines but it's physical size was that of a Rock fish (38 LB's). My neighbor was a TWRA Creel Officer that worked with the Agencies Biologist. He took pic's of the fish and measurements and asked them about it.

Come to find out, on occasion at the hatchery, mistakes are made. Some times the hatching vats are not sufficiently cleaned between species hatching, So some active sperm deposits from one species to the other gets mixed in the transfer. They said it is rare but on occasion a Morphed Fish will appear, Hope this helps .. <'TK><

Those little sperm cells are tricky. I have know girls to get pregnant off the commode seat and also from those little sperms drifting in the swimming pool.

I trust TWRA... but that sure looks like 100% Striper to me.

[tkwalker]

Me To ... I have caught a number of Stripers through the years that had broken lines ... But like Jimmy said ... I'm not going to up stage TWRA ... <'TK><

[MNfisher]
