is that 2nd photo a wht.perch?  ...shoulda' cut it up for bait

[Benni3]

I got skunked,,,marlo got 1 hybrid and Larry 2,,,,,,,

I enjoy watching those hybrids grow.  Larry's fish looks like a full-blooded striper though.

 Steve, think some of the lower lines are broke up on Larry's fish ?  ... Jeff

[oc1]

You're probably right Jeff.  It looks like the fish flopped around on the ground and picked up some debris before taking the picture.  I also thought it was a little more slender than Marlo's hybrid, but a full striper may be more slender than that.
