All I'm going to say for sure is, I think that at a certain size it's hard to tell if it's a big white or a small hybrid. That way I can't be wrong LOL.

If that's a white then maybe they need to include whites in the unofficial combined hybrid and Striper size and number limits I have heard about here to avoid even further confusion. Is it a Striper or a hybrid or is it a hybrid or white? Lol

We just put it back in and rebated the rod as quickly as possible. Isn't fishin great!
