I went to Wilde Lake around 11:00 today and caught this white-ish gray largemouth. It has a pink hue as well. It was about 12 inches long. DNR, is this a Hybrid?
DNR Response: There are some largemouth x florida bass hybrids, but not many at all and it's pretty tough to tell them apart from pure strain largemouth bass. Color isn't something that can be used to really identify a hybrid. The boldness of the color pattern is pretty variable naturally, sometimes depending on the clarity of the water or perhaps time of year. I think it's just a naturally lightly colored largemouth.
