A new lake record was set at Lake Hefner for Striped Bass when Clidell Woody caught this 16.1 pounder on March 18th. The old record was 14.8 pounds set by Glen Burling in 2010.
Clidell caught it on the west side of Hefner near the spillway. He was fishing for catfish using cut shad.
Hybrids arrive in Lake Hefner via the North Canadian River from Canton Lake.
Striped bass hybrids are a hatchery-raised cross between stripers and white bass and are favorites with fishermen because they are fierce fighters.

Lake Sooner Fishing Report
Herb Asche, P.C. Team Bass Angler of the Year 2006, sends us this report from Lake Sooner:
Hybrids are really good off of points with top water chug bugs and such. The black bass are fair with buzz baits in the early morning. Switch to Carolina rigs and jigs off of points in the afternoon.
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Herb and good luck on the tournament trail this year. Keep us posted on how you are doing!
