Reports lead us to believe that if continued that we could lose the pure Striper strain with enough time. With that being said a theory I have is slight hybrid genetics have crossed into whites on lakes that have both. Not wanting to elaborate more as I am tired but the tooth patch is still the way and I believe you had a white bass but on twok I see all kinds of slight hybrid looks the the whites like broad bodies and busted up stripes. Again just theories smile

Yep this is why a sample is taken from a potential water body or state record hybrid and genetically verified. Your theory rings true


Keep em tight!
