  Comment: Yellow Bass - White Bass hybrid Morone chrysops x M. mississippiensis was stocked in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas (Fuller et al. 1999) and have been documented reproducing in Texas reservoirs (Fries and Harvey, 1989). Hybrids of M. americana and M. mississippiensis were first found in 2000 in the middle Illinois River, Illinois (Irons et al. 2002). The Paradise Bass (male M. mississippiensis x female M. saxatilis) has been stocked in Louisiana (Fuller et al. 1999)
