I'll bet that osprey fishing was an awesome sight

I've only caught one blacknose crappie. Pretty neat looking fish.

Nice! I am not sure but I think them are called a Magnolia Crappie. It is a cross between a black and white crappie and will not reproduce. I have bee told they are rare. Great catch!

Wow! Nice blacknose crappie. Thanks for sharing the report and pictures.

Nice catch. Never saw one of those before. What bait is that? BG?

Blacknose are common here in Tn. They grow fast and they do spawn. Nice fish.

Yes...blacknose. We seldom catch them on Chickamauga Lake but plentiful on Tims Ford...Dale Hollow...etc. in Tn. A Magnolia ( hybrid ) is a cross between a white crappie and a blacknose and aren't as widespread. They are sterile. They are usually stocked in smaller lakes or ponds. Since they don't spawn their food energy makes them grow larger and faster than blacknose...but not in numbers. Congrats on your first blacknose !

Gotta love a Crappie with a racing stripe!! Good report.

I sure love the bite from those there what we call "Mohawk" crappie ....in these parts we have good numbers in lots of spots and they just flat whack a jig hard ....good job sir and congrats on it

Love racing stripe crappie!

Nice black nose
