Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Show off your catch 13lb Hybrid Striped Bass

While I didn't catch this at a pond, this was my FIRST ever HSB, and has definitely become one of my favorite fish since then, and inspired me to want to add some to my pond. This was caught in April at Badin Lake, NC, and weighed 13 pounds. I didn't realize how big it was until I just looked at the NC state records, and saw that the record is 17lbs 7oz. On this same weekend, I also caught the Blue Catfish that's in my profile picture that weighed 36 pounds. Caught both on a Carolina rig using cut bluegill as bait.
