Great catch Ken, how's the hand?

It's good to see the magnolia crappie getting large. Thanks for post and pics.

Catch one all along and I can't tell the difference between a black and a magnolia, rare to catch one that will messure 12

TILL TODAY I HAD NOT CAUGHT ONE NEAR AS BIG AS THIS ONE .

I have a 1/2 acre pond in my front yard went brown nose or every and they reproduced for the last 15 years or so

Crappie were introduced to ponds and small lakes. Not enough fishing, bass and catfish to control their numbers. What you caught was small compared to the big lakes. Most of the time not making the state's 10" limit. The state lakes are being drained and rebuilt, hope to rid them of the common crappie and introduce the magnolia crappie.

Caught them fairly often at Ross Barnett during the early 90'S .

First sentence is wrong - second sentence is (mostly) correct.

A Blacknose Crappie is just a naturally occurring Black Crappie with a marker gene that creates the black stripe.

A Magnolia Crappie is a hatchery crossbreed, but a small percentage of them can reproduce.
