    Somebody correct me if I am wrong because I am trying to learn to distinguish different species from each other myself and it gets hard sometimes. But the three large fish look totally different from the smaller fish. I believe these three large fish would be Bodie Bass as they have the broken stripes and the stripes are darker as well. Not to mention the size difference as the Bodie is a Striped Bass hybrid. If that is what these are then these would not be legal fish to keep as they must be 20".

    I'm not trying to be legalistic as I said I need the education as much as anyone else. My oldest caught a fish a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't positively id so we put it back. It was small like a perch or white Bass but had the broken stripes. I wasn't sure so we let it go. So what is everyone else's opinion here, Are these White Bass too or Bodie Bass?

    The three big fish are hybrid or Bodie Bass. In High Rock they must be 20 inches or larger. Supposedly they have not been stocked in High Rock in about 5 years but they keep showing up. They apparently are reproducing in limited numbers not only in High Rock but in other lakes also.
