I think they are releated to the stripe bass. Is that true? What a shape on that fish. Nice catch.

Thank you William and Snook Hunter.The Sunshine Bass is a hybrid between a Striped Bass and a White Bass.They can be found in a couple lakes in West Plam Beach and in Lake Okeechobee.

Hybrid - male white bass, female striped bass.

Sunshine bass - female white bass, male striped bass. It was found that the sunshine Hybrid bass faired better in warmer climbs such as FL.

Nice Fish :D
