I've caught a few on Ouachita, and when I tried to find some info, ran across the wikipedia crappie page with a picture of one, taken by Jerry Blake. He's famous!

They are Black Crappie with a genetic marker that orginated in the White River area. I caught another one today in Nimrod Lake.:cool:

My buddy caught one this past sunday out of a bar pit off of the St. Francis river just out from lake city. If these things are only in big lakes and impoundment, then I don't know how it got there. I wouldn't have even know what it was had I not of read this thread the other day. Then when he got it in the boat, I said hey man that is one of those black nose crappie that i read about the other day. That is the only one I have ever seen in person.
I recall catching them out of lake Houston just NE of Houston Tx over 20 years ago.
