I do know the difference between the two and that this is a regular striper lol. I've just seen the lakes down south that have the hybrids (although I haven't done much research on them) and think it'd be cool to have a lake or two with them in ct, hell if they could manage regular stripers in a lake that'd be cool too. won't ever happen though. totally agree that this one striper in cwood will not have much of an impact at all.
