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.

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!
