We don't have many white crappie in our lakes here, so when I caught a nice white and a nice black today that were each 15 1/4" I had to get out the scales and compare: here are the results..... the white was 1.32 lbs. the black was 1.63 lbs. Both fish were well fed and in good shape the black was deeper bodied and had thicker shoulders. Bet they both eat the same, but am glad we have mostly blacks in our lakes.
