Mystery Fish???

[CajunSlabStalker]

Below is a cropped image from a picture I took Sunday when I got home. There was one fish that has me puzzled. Is it possible that a bass and a sac-au-lait (crappie) cross bred?

Yes. But no.

Thats a white crappie....they have pretty big mouths

Post the picture of the other white sacalait with the much smaller mouth

I've cropped the image to put it next to another white crappie, I guess maybe it's because the stripes are more distinctive that he stood out!

Maybe its a gender thing?

Bass & Crappie cannot crossbreed. The stretched out Crappie is merely a growth rate thing. And White Crappie are generally always "longer" than a Black Crappie of the same age/weight.
