Went to Poverty Point again today and caught close to 30 white bass, all 15"-18". Kept 10 for eatin' and released the rest.
Thats a white bass. Good to eat fish and fun to catch. They fight like a alligator.

I waited to voice my opinion, but I think based on the pics sparton put with the picture that is a hybrid. That was my first inclination. Look at the fins on top. Count the spines in the front fin and compare the shape of the back fin. Have caught some in the past. Lot of fun, hit a rattle trap with a slam. A lot like eating red fish.

They are fun to catch, last fall I was on them. They would surround the shad and push them to surface, then cast into the boil and you had a fish. I think this is one of my favorite ways to fish, it is exciting watching the water boil up and shad jumping.
This is what I was casting

We caught a bunch more on Friday. Did a tongue check and that plus the forked tail, single stripe and anal fin have me 99.9% sure they are white bass. Thanks for all of the input.

That is a hybrid striped bass. We catch white bass, stripped bass, and hybrids here. I recognized it immediately. It looks exactly like the last picture. Notice that there are multiple clear stripes that go all the way to the tail, not just one. Notice how the lines below the midline are clear, but interrupted and staggered, exactly like the hybrid in the picture. On the white bass the lines below the midline are straight and very much lighter.
how come David Freeman hasn't give an opinion on this fish ID??long time no see bud...
I see what you mean with the staggered lines. Looks like a hybrid. I noticed that the tail is different. Hybrids have a flat tail, white bass have a forked tail. Also, the tongue was the "U" shape like the white bass. Either way, we only kept 5 each so we would be legal either way. Limit on white bass is 50, limit on hybrids is 5.

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
