Hello. I'm new to white bass and hybrid fishing and I was wondering if I caught a white bass or a hybrid. It has the characteristics of both. It has only one tooth patch like a white bass, but has several lines that extend to the tail that are dark and distinct. In your opinion, is it a white or a hybrid? Thank you.

White bass

Hybrid I see some broken lines
And one thing I noticed is people don't pay attention to the eyes
The more circular and more darker pupil thru out the eye is most likely a sandbass
And a hybrid has a smaller more cat eyeing pupil.
Fishing for a long time I discovered that the eye is another way to tell between a hybrid or sandie

Just my opinion

Hybrid, I think.

Only way to be positive, is it's tooth patch.

It is a Hybrid.

Hybrid. The tooth patch and size confirms it.

Hybrid, but if you are ever not sure look at it as if it is a hybrid.

THere was so much confusion years back at Lake o' the Pines spillway the fish cops decided if it was under 18 inches it was a white bass, over 18 was a hybrid.

Plus #1.

That's a nice fish. Smile !!

looks like two tooth patch to me

Hybrid, no wait......

Been a while, just sayin'.

It's for dinner.
