Whites vs hybrid striper
What is the easiest way to tell a white bass from a hybrid striper?
Hi Roy,
I have attached a picture for reference. The big one you see there is the Hybrid the others are whites.
There are a couple of things you can look at to tell pretty quickly whether you have a white or hybrid.
- Size - Adult Hybids are bigger than adult whites. Hybrids grow from 15 - 20 inches long. Whites typically get between 10 - 12 inches long.
- Stripes - Once you've established the size verify with the stripes. A hybrid's stripes are more visible and pronounced. You can really see the difference in the picture.
Hope this helps.
