Hybrid Striped BassMorone chrysops × saxatilis

Hybrid striped bass (palmetto / sunshine bass) cross striped bass × white bass for a sterile, fast-growing sport fish that doesn't reproduce in ponds. Fight harder than largemouth, grow faster (5+ lbs in 3 years), and are excellent on the table. Need open water + cool oxygenated bottom; best in 3+ acre ponds with deep zones. Not a forage-pond fish - they need their own forage program (threadfin shad / gizzard shad).
