I have both in my pond and enjoy catching them both. These two fish are very different in the way that they feed and the area of the pond i catch them in. I very rarely catch the lmb out in the middle of the pond and very rarely catch the hybrids along the shore. I can draw the hybrids in closer with feed but they are not naturally along the bank like the bass are. The hybrids do pull and run harder but I do like variety.
