Hybrid. The tooth patch is elongated and you can see the split down the middle of the patch. On a sandbass that patch is NOT elongated - more of a blunt, rounded triangle in shape.

The body shape of that hybrid is the same dimensions more or less as the smaller sandbass next to it. A truly big sandbass will be much 'taller' or deeper in its build. As an anology, a big sandbass will have a build closer to a black drum, where a big hybrid will have a build closer to a redfish.

The external thing that I spot on big sandbass (or small hybrids) is the eye. The eyes of a sandbass are somewhat bigger proportionally to its body size than those of a hybrid.

One good thing is that it is a legal catch either way

Hey doug this is antohny tommy and richies friend.. Man the whites have been doing good behind the spillway andi have also been catchting nice hybrids too

White bass: Stripes faint, only one extends to tail, one tooth patch, body deep, more than 1/3 length

Hybrid: Stripes distinct, usually broken, several extend to tail, two tooth patches, body deep, more than 1/3 length

Striper: Stripes distinct, several extend to tail, two distinct tooth patches, body slender, less than 1/3 length

This one has one tooth patch (white bass), but also has stripes istinct, several extend to tail (hybrid), not broken (striper), body slender, less than 1/3 length (striper).

It is a White-Hybrid-Sriper bass.
