sunshine bass
noun
: a hybrid striped bass that is a cross between a female white bass (Morone chrysops) and a male striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and is silvery-white with dark usually discontinuous or irregular horizontal stripes along the sides
Note: Like the wiper, the sunshine bass has an aggressive nature and is bred chiefly as a sport fish for stocking lakes, streams, and reservoirs.
The sunshine bass tends to stay in deeper water like its parent fish, but is an aggressive striker on live bait when it is feeding near the surface or in shallower water.
