Hybrid Striped Bass

Hybrid striped bass are a cross between a striped bass and a white bass.  Hybrids are bigger than white bass, but smaller than stripers.  Hybrids in the 10 to 15 pound range are not uncommon, but fish in the 5 to 10 pound range are considered quality-sized fish.  Hybrid striped bass can be found roaming open water looking for schools of bait fish such as gizzard shad and threadfin shad.
