Nice Wipers. I've not had much experience catching them. Only a few but they really put up a fight. Hit hard, run fast and don't tire. Short story about my first wiper was many years ago in the Wabash river. The Dnr had just started a stocking program in some of the reservoirs and one of those was the Roush then called Huntington. No one even knew much about them not many were even caught in the Reservoir. White bass runs up the Wabash in the spring very common and alot of nice size ones caught. I caught what i believed was the state record White bass. This thing was Hugh. Five or six lbs, alot like the ones in your photos. Took it to our local bait shop to get it verified and weighed. Even the old timer that owned the shop believed it was a state record. I left the fish with him and a state biologist came the next day and to both our surprise it was a wiper that was released in resi four or five years earlier. To this day i claim to have held the record for one day. He told me an easy way to tell the difference was wipers have a dark patch on the tonge and whites don't.
