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!

we catch a lot of those in Lake Dardanelle. There is a G&F hatchery near Piney bay that raises them. They get pretty big and put up a fight but they don't reproduce they say. It is rrumored that they are going o release about 400,000 soon. We call them line backers.
It ain't nuttin but luck.
Were gettin alot of em in Grenada....they are all dinks. We were told that they were a hybred called a Magnolia crappie or sumthin like that. With a 12" min here, i dont care to catch all them 9 inchers.
Stick yo jig in there!
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.
