Wipers?

We camped beside a county Fishing Lake near Pratt, Kansas.  A notice posted near the restrooms listed types of fish in the lake and legal keeper sizes.  4 types of fish were listed, including wipers.  Wipers?  That's a new one!  What the hell's a wiper?

I asked Trish if she'd ever heard of a wiper fish.  Indeed, she had, said it was a large pan fish that thrived on pond scum, 'wiping' the surface of the water clean.

Nowhere but Kansas have I seen Fishing Lake signs.  I guess they're lakes that are regularly stocked with game fish.

Back to the wipers: do you believe what I wrote above?  Hope not because it's pure BS.  Wipers are a hybrid game fish, a cross between white bass and striped bass.  Kansas, Utah, Missouri, Nebraska and maybe a few other states have them.  Here's a picture of one.

Allegedly, wipers are great eating, are aggressive and scrappy, fun to catch.

No, that's not me in the picture; that guy has hair.
