Attachment 292158Attachment 292157We figured it was a white bass based on this chart. We referenced the anal fin and the single stripe compared to my picture but the carcass was gone so we couldn't check the tongue. We're going back to Poverty Point tomorrow so we'll hopefully catch another one to verify that. Thanks for all the input.
Much better pictures spartannation, once you see a yellow, a white, a hybrid, and a stripped side by side it's easy to tell by the tongue together with the shape of the fish.

Guys, I'm several states away from ya but I'll cast my vote for a hybrid. The white bass we have in the Carolinas do not have the broken lines like the one in the picture, usually solid lines like a true striped bass. I've never looked at the tounge patches thoughAttachment 292236 Here's a decent picture of a white bass and a white perch about the same size. You can see the stripes on the white bass are solid lines. That is a pretty picture of a nice fish, even if we are unsure what it is.
Could of and should of but i gotta get some beauty sleep. Got a full day of catching tomorrow. ;)
And to add to the confusion, the White Perch (on left side) isn't a perch at all. His closest kin is the Striped Bass. Not surprising because his habits mirror that of the Striped Bass.Quote:
