Temperate Bass kick ass

Habitat

White bass are native to the rivers that flow to the Mississippi. They have been widely introduced into rivers that flow in to the Atlantic Ocean, such as the Catawba and Yadkin rivers. White bass often travel in schools, chasing baitfish in the open waters of lakes and large rivers. As a result, they are rarely associated with cover. They also inhabit ponds, reservoirs, streams and rivers with deep pools

NICE HYBRID!!!

 

[MultispeciesTamer]

If the body of water is hooked up to the mississipi then they are more then likly a hybrid. We even have wipers and stripers in lake MI from southern states stocking and private ponds stocking. Theres been about 10 of them caught in the one river that runs down to Indiana, with most of them being wipers.

DNR is going to ID the fish, or try anyway. They said it was highly improbable that it would be anything other than a White Bass, but they are going to review the pictures as well.

If you like tilapia, you would like white bass too. They are very mild, and a little more firm than tilapia.
