Hybrid Striped Bass stocking

I drove to Gainsville Texas today and picked up 144 (all they had) of 6-8" Hybrid Striped Bass. These are a cross between Stripers and Sand Bass. I put 100 in the Big Muddy and 44 in the Front Pond.

With proper feeding these little guys should gain 1 to 1.5 pounds per year, so in a couple years we should be able to catch 3 pound stripers that pound for pound fight harder and taste better than Largemouth Bass.
