Really? It sounds like the member of the royal court with the worst job...

I dunno, I still like "wypers."

Anticipating your next question...

http://www.ncwildlife.org/portals/0/Fishing/documents/Bodie_Bass_pr...

The Bodie bass (or striped bass hybrid) was named for Bodie McDowell (now retired) who was the public information officer for the Wildlife Resources Commission.

Wipers (white/Stripers) or Bodie Bass

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 6, 2015 at 3:03pm
So are hybrid stripers called, "hypers?"
Comment by Marty Lemons on March 6, 2015 at 2:56pm

Wow you guys have filled my Inbox up today with all this banter.  Stripers here on Lake Norman failed over a 15 year program, so now they have concentrated on hybrids for their stocking program

Comment by Andy is OptiMystic on March 6, 2015 at 12:43pm

that's another thing to like about hybrids; I think they are easier to catch than "pure" rocks.

Comment by Slip Sinker on March 6, 2015 at 12:23pm

ive talked with the DNR about stocking Wipers in Wixom Lake.... all their time and money is spent devoted to muskies... which to me is a nothing fish... hardly any one targets them around here.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on March 6, 2015 at 12:20pm
I've caught them on worms, too, and know others that report the same.

Congrats B. W. on that fine fish!
