So here I again. Sorry Taylor, I set you up on this one.

A) dont believe a word you hear from DFG, verify it yourself, dont take their word as authoritative. That agencies personel generally are the bottom of the barrell in terms of abilities (although there are some oustanding biologists who work for DFG) B) Its impossible to tell exactly what species make up a hybrid unless you run lab tests on the DNA. I doubt DFG did that, although I could be wrong and would love to see the results if they did run tests C) largemouth/smallmouth hybrids are very rare.

Redeyes are present in the Stanislaus River, including New Melones. However, I doubt this population made it to the Delta. Redeye also have gotten into the Consumnes basin, and this is the population that likely has made its way down into the Mokelumne, maybe as far as Wimpys. Is this considered Delta, I dont know, seems likes its part of the Delta to me.

I cant say what what youre catching Taylor, but what I wrote above has some reliability associated with it. Ok, Im climbing off my stool now, lol.
