They live in bays mostly and we usually don't get them this time of year. I'm surprised to see one so early in the season.

Brown trout huh? Meth addiction is a serious problem in the US. Put the blow torch away bro.

That's just a regular old barred sandbass. Never heard of a sandbass/baybass hybrid, but I'd love to see one. Better yet a spottie/calico hybrid. That would be a big mean bass! Proper name for a spottie is a spotted sand bass.

There's also a parrot sandbass found in the Sea of Cortez that has the same body and nearly the same fins of a regular sandie with some pretty funky colors and patterns.




And also the gold spotted sandbass in the SOC. Real common and delicious meat.



The only hybrid (saltwater) bass I've heard of is a sandie/calico (Sandico). Fairly common in the SM Bay-LB area. These are good examples..






I caught an interesting looking sandie last Fall off of PV. Sent it to a marine biologist friend and he thinks it's a sandico, but I still think it's just a funky colored reef dwelling sandie since it still has the same body and fin configuration of a sandbass, but you'd probably have to do some dna tests to find out for sure. Either way pretty interesting, especially the blue pelvic and anal fins.

The bass in picture#2 are commonly referred to as "pinto bass" on the SOC

Great pics. I think that first one might be a Calico spotted hybrid, that second one has to be about the best looking sandbass Calico hybrid I've seen. I've seen a lot of them but never one that bright.

You can tell we fish the same areas.

I caught a fish just like the third one off big Kelp Reef. It had almost the exact same coloration as a dark brown Cabazon. Cool stuff!!! Thanks for those pics.
