Striper or Hybrid?

[apb]

...One clear indicator that your fish is a striper is the shear length. I don't think Hybrids top the 20 inch mark. I am sure someone could prove me wrong on this but I doubt any hybrid will ever make the 26 inch mark....

There are plenty of Hybrids out there over 20 inches. I've also caught a good number over 26 inches. Once they hit around 24 inches they really start putting on weight. I've caught a few 12 pound Hybrids that measured 27-28 inches. Andrew
