Night Striper Bite

Thanks for clearing that up stripernut. I've just always heard people say there wasn't hybrids in there but that picture peter posted clearly showed a difference. I believe that an accidental stocking happened, it's not surprising at all. Again thanks for your post.

long winded explanation aside....heres some food for thought....an "accidental" stocking would lead one to believe it was a one time thing, an "oh-no look what we did" kind of thing. so if that was truly the case then how do you catch a 26 inch true hybrid one morning and a 15 inch true hybrid the next morning? theres a few age classes between the 2 fish....which would indicate there have been multiple "accidental stockings"? just sayin lol....

i for one dont mind hooking into a true hybrid...they are mean to the bone! they bury the rod in the holder so violently you have to struggle just to get it out of the holder...for me i get a big kick out of watching someone that doesnt get a lot of opportunity to fish get their butt kicked!!! a big striper does it too but the hybrid just does it with a lot more disrepect lol.

Ohh yeah them hybrids are some mean beast. I go to barren and fish for em and it's a blast! As for Cumberland many accidental stockings seems pretty feaseable..... If you want to call them "accidental" lol

I've caught a few hybrids out of Cumberland as well, but I don't think there has ever been an "accidental" stocking. I think the stripes and whites just spawn a few naturally once in a while.

I dont "think" .....I KNOW.....I was told in those exact words...."accidental". I had witnesses. I will not divulge the kydfwr person that said this, that is their business if they so choose
