State record hybrid

[Phil Lilley]

I just searched google and didn't find anything... has anyone else seen anything to varify this?

I havent heard anything about it. If it is true; that is one big Hybrid. Be about like catching a Mack Truck.

I checked with the MDC a couple of weeks ago. They hadn't heard anything.

Kansas state record is 22.39. Perry Lake spillway on a jig.

Last summer. Lots of big Wipers in NE Kansas lakes.

There are 2 hybrids, based on the gender of the parents and I believe one gets a lot larger then the other. They have specific names, but they escape me at the present.

Florida crosses male stripers with female white bass, I think. They call that hybrid a "sunshine bass." Most hatcheries do it the other way around.

Is that what you mean?

Well I had to look.

It seems the Palmetto Bass is a Striper egg fertilized with White bass sperm. The opposite is the Sunshine Bass, White Bass egg, etc.

Apparently the Palmetto is the most popular, but I didn't find anything suggesting that one grew faster or larger than the other.

The World Record, according to the Kansas site, is 27 lbs 5 ozs.
