Fishing at Northeast (behind the museum) in the rain. Live lining White Perch produced a Striped Bass (Hybrid? Broken lines�) Tough it was 17", so returned to the water after a quick photo. I also caught a fish on nightcrawler accidently while getting my perch. Didn't know what it was, after it got it's energy back in the bucket I returned it as well.

DNR Response: Yes, you caught a Hybrid Striped Bass, and the other fish is a Golden Shiner.
