What do you think? Is the top one a Hybrid? The body height is real close to 1/3 the body length.
The fish in the top of the first photo was caught Saturday and the one on the bottom was caught Sunday in the main lake.
The top one just sat in basically one spot for fifteen minutes, if it was pulling line it was real slow or not at all. I thumbed the reel and pulled pretty darn hard with a 7' ugly stick and got nowhere but did feel some movement. I checked to see if I was hung on the bottom or hung on a tree top with the water being up and my fish finder read 120 deep. I backed up with all my planner boards out and tried to go around to the other side of the fish. Actually after turning off my trolling motor, pulling on the fish or the fish pulling me made the boat back up, then I tried to get around to the other side. I don't recall any striper acting like that lately.. It was only 26" and 8.5 lbs.
