pghgeorge Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I believe this is a Hybrid Bass. What do you think ? Thanks Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 As in a white bass? Like hybrid striper? Looks like a largemouth to me. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 Yea, I agree, looks like a mostly dead largemouth. Is that a owner twistlock lite wire in its lip? Quote
pghgeorge Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 As in a white bass? Like hybrid striper? Looks like a largemouth to me. Auggie I thought it to be a Wiper - White Bass and Striped Bass Hybrid. The mouth is smaller than Large Mouth's that I have caught. The lack of lateral line and silver color add to my curiosity.

pghgeorge Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Yea, I agree, looks like a mostly dead largemouth. Is that a owner twistlock lite wire in its lip? Not an Owner - How about a Flying Lure. lol This fish was about 3 lbs and pulled like a Freight Train for it's size. I caught 5 Largemouths the same day and they did not look like this fish. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 It's a largemouth. But, the lack of lateral stripe and silvery color is likely due to its immediate surroundings, or for social reasons. Bass like other fish are chameleon-like (well almost) in that they can adjust hue and change patterning to quite a degree. Lack of markings and silvery reflectance is common when bass are in open water for some extended period or in turbid water. 2 Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 No hybrid, it's a common, ordinary, everyday LMB. 1 Quote
BammerBass Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Largemouth bass. Variety of reason why it has a pale coloration and somewhat "faded lateral line" Vegatation gives bass(and other fish) a darker, greener appearance, so this one had probably been in open water for a good time, and clearer water. Nice fish though. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 It looks like a normal bass to me. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 That'd be your common largemouth. Quote

Super User Ratherbfishing Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 Are wipers the product of striped bass eggs fertilized by white bass or vice versa? I'm guessing it is the former. Quote
pghgeorge Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Are wipers the product of striped bass eggs fertilized by white bass or vice versa? I'm guessing it is the former. Wipers are produced by fertilizing eggs from white bass with sperm from striped bass; the resulting fish are also called "sunshine bass" or "Cherokee bass". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_striped_bass Quote
unageo09 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 They're fun to catch. We just call them "stripe" around here because of their stripes. Quote
