Hybrids by far. Had them demolish chatterbaits, straighten hooks on swim jigs and destroy a Chugbug.
I catch 4lb - 6lb hybrids here, it's like hooking into a freight train. They hit the bait running, and the first 3 minutes of the fight you're just hanging on. Musky take the prize for worst fish to have in the boat with you, they go ballistic, after you think the fight is over.
Anything that ruins one of my lures goes home with me if legal. You break my bait, ya end up deep fried in batter. Well, except mudfish, always let them go because i would never eat one of those nasty things.
I catch a lot of Hybrids on Lake Hartwell, and Clark Hill every year. Yes, they put up a good fight. But so does a big spotted bass.
how does striper taste?
Interesting story to this one, I was in a big bass contest and caught my PB bass at 8.6 near a dock 2 days after the no keep date. APRIL 17 on a hair jig 8# XT. So I weighed and released. One year later on April 17th. Same spot I hook up, on a hair jig, and as I am fighting I am thinking its the same girl, mind was going balistic. I caught this, 11.4 hyrid. As for the fight, pretty similar, slowly mover deep, made strong long runs, then turned back. The hybid took longer, but the fight was not real quick surges just slow and strong. This was 96-97. No camrea for the bass, and had to rease, no cell back then.
I’ve been fishing for hybrids this year at night.
They have straightened hooks, ripped hooks and split rings off lures and trashed a landing net.
And I’m only putting maybe 50% of them in the boat.
Its like hand to hand combat and fun as crap too.
