[cool]Hi, Minh. The yellow bass are small cousins of the striper and very close to white bass. It is the smallest member of the family, rarely getting much over a pound, but a lot of fun on light tackle and very good eating.
A lot of the locals over here, some not too sharp on fish identity, do call these yellow bass "stripies".
I always take my ultralight six footer with a microlite reel and 4 pound line. I actually spend most of my time fishing for yellow bass, because they are so plentiful and so much fun. Those darned largemouth, walleyes and big catfish often spoil my fun by jumping on the little jigs I use. Then I have to spend a lot of time messing with them before I can get back to the yellows. The catfish, often over 5 pounds, can tow me around for awhile.
