Section VII-115 - Hybrid Bass

A. Whereas, 45,000 hybrid (white bass-striped bass) bass fingerlings were stocked in False River, Pointe Coupee Parish, in May 1975; and

B. whereas, these fish though not likely to reproduce, have the potential of reaching 15-20 pounds, feeding primarily on gizzard shad which are very numerous in the lake; and

C. whereas, these hybrids now average 10 inches in length and are being caught in large numbers by sports fishermen;

D. therefore be it resolved, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission hereby imposes the establishment of a statewide two fish daily, four fish possession limit on hybrid bass.
