[QUOTE="scn, post: 5868606, member: 1859"] There is a lot of fisheries history tied up in this hybrid. It was “created “ to have a large predator that could feed and help control exploding populations of gizzard shad. Once gizzards reach a certain size, they are outside of the preferred size for most of the native freshwater species. A friend and mentor, Tn fisheries biologist Dave Bishop, was working closely with Bob Stevens from your SC DNR on a project on finding out how to successfully hatchery spawn striped bass from the Santee Cooper tailwaters. Dave was able to successfully spawn strper eggs fertilized by white bass sperm. While they didn’t grow as large as stripers, they grew faster and were much more tolerant of high lake temperatures than the stripers. They are now used by fisheries managers across the country.
