What is the average life-span of a hybrid-striped bass? Steve caught a huge one this evening and is really impressed with their growth. I know alot of variables probably go into that.
We were told they wouldn't reproduce in a pond. So, when we had to drain the pond (two years ago), we were blown away when we found 46 baby stripers (and 1 baby rainbow)!

We are in Virginia and had them brought up from Georgia. It was a fairly good expense. So what a happy surprise to see the little 'ens!
