Neat, I've never seen one. As a matter of fact I didn't see any crappie at all over there. Lol
I've never seen one of those either. Were are you fishing?
Lake Washington
love seeing those triploid crappie
Magnolia crappie
Catch some of them on Nader all along, cool pic
I know they say they didn't put any in the rez , but i have caught several with that strip at the rez .
Cool--now show us some the pigs your catching.Quote:

The blackstripe crappie occurs naturally in low numbers in several Mississippi reservoirs.Quote:

I actually think many of the fish that are being caught in Grenada and other large lakes are in reality Diploid Hybrid Blackstripe crappie that are naturally present in MS waters. (at least that is what my wife, the biologist, tells me...) better information can be found here....http://www.mdwfp.com/north-ms-fish-h...a-crappie.aspx
That is one pretty fish.

Not a Magnolia crappie. This is in all likelyhood a natural diploid hybrid of the Black Crappie which occurs naturally in many MS lakes. I do not think the Wildlife people have released any Magnolias into Lake Washington, at least not in any list that I have seen. Blacksripe Crappie and Magnolia Crappie LOOK identical. The only difference is that the Magnolia is a triploid hybrid (has three sets of chromosomes) that is sterile.
I am no expert, but my wife IS a biologist, and that is how she explained it to me when I caught one at Grenada Lake last year.
Caught a bunch of em over the years at Sardis.
Nice fish Ken, now Throw it back!!! ;-)
Heck no! Trying to get 7 for Saturday
If I have ever caught one, I didn't know it.
Bwahahaha.. Pretty fish..
That's a nice one!That fish being a lighter color really makes that line stand out.Cool!
Got skid marks. I catch them mostly on corps lakes but I think they are in all the delta lakes
Nice find
My fishing partner said I caught a fish that almost as weird as I am
I catch them in Barnett. They're always about that size also?? I asked the guys doing the survey last year about them and they said they are not triploids... They give me a real educated answer.. But I can't remember exactly what they said. Always seen to catch them along the river and when you get in them it's usually a big school of them.. Just never no size???
Last one I caught was at Barnett, during the spawn in 18" of water. It was about the same size as Ken's but fought like a 2 lber.
I left those in a bucket for ya, lol. I think it's gonna take a much bigger stringer this weekend though.Quote:
