Nice way to end a fishing season! I caught this during moonrise last night and thought it was a nice smallmouth. It was not until this morning when the sun came out that I realized it was a White Bass. Weighing in at 4 lbs and between one or two oz., (my own unofficial weighing on a tacklebox scale) this might beat the state record of 4 lb. The White Bass is in my left hand. I caught it on a plastic worm at Lake Raystown. It measures 19 and 1/4 inches from lower lip to half compressed tail.
Compare that to the largemouth bass in my right hand. I caught that one, weighing in at 2 lbs 6 oz. also on a plastic worm and also at Lake Raystown. Usually the white bass are much smaller than the largemouth.
