I usually Fish Hartwell a couple times a year, although I didn’t make it over there in 2023… Lake Hartwell has trophy Hybrid Striped Bass and monster Stripers like this one. This is a great time to go fishing there, I have had good luck with large jigging spoons and live shiners. Good luck and tight lines

Is it safe to eat them?

Yes, hybrids and Stripers are cold water game fish, not bottom feeders like carp and catfish… yes we eat them and yes they are delicious. Many times Hybrids get so stressed out they actually die as soon as you land them, they literally leave all their fight in the water.
