From LSU fisheries agent:
Saw your pics on saltycajun of the hybrid striper. LDWF released 300,000 in the river in 2009.
I used to catch some pretty nice stripers up around the saltwater barrier. hard to identify from hybrids when they are smaller. the true test is the medial tooth patch on the back of thetongue. the hybrid and the striper have 2 patches while the white only has one. I am not so sure what you had was a true striper because of the upbroken lines.
