Twenty Pound Hybrid

Type: Nontidal
Region: Northern
Location: Conowingo Lake

What a day on Conowingo Lake. I have always heard of these Hybrid Bass for many years but have never caught one or let alone seen one caught. Well, today that all changed as I boated 2 trophy fish. My first catch was one coming in at just over 10 lbs, wow what a catch I thought, then 20 minutes later I get bit again and was shocked!!! As I fought the current and fish by myself, barely able to fit in the net, I landed this Hybrid Bass that weighed just over 20 lbs. After talks with DNR I learned no state record was on file, yes it was a catch of a lifetime, but after a couple pictures with a cell phone, I let this monster of a fish go. I did a little research on the Hybrid Bass and come to find out the WORLD RECORD is just over 27 lbs�so who knows, the next world record could be swimming in Conowingo Lake.
