    Default black-nosed crappie


    Have any of you guys ever caught one? I read that they are a hybrid of black and white crappie nad are being stocked in Tennessee and Arkansas. Do these hybridize naturally?

    Default Not a Hybrid per Wildlife Institue

    What is a blacknose crappie?
    A blacknose crappie is just a black crappie with a wide, dominant black stripe running from the top fin to the tip of the nose. Untrained observers can easily recognize this stripe.

    Is the blacknose crappie a different species or subspecies?
    No. Scientists at Auburn University have determined that blacknose crappie are a genetic variation of black crappie and not a hybrid of white and black crappie or a subspecies.

    Default black nose crappie

    I've heard that some states stock them in order to check their growth rates so they know the difference between them and native fish.

    No, It's one that I caught and used my felt pen to put that mark on so I'd know if I caught it again... Been doing if for years now, see you caught one of my fish.

    Lightbulb Do a "advanced search" ....

    on the site's Search link .... put "Blacknose" in as the search word ... and set it to search "all" forums. You'll see that this fish has been widely disussed, over the life of this site ... and most everyone that's caught one, wants to catch another :D (especially if it was a good'un)

    We've already been thru the "is it a hybrid" stage of questioning, and Iamfishing's information is correct. Rookie12 is also correct ... Biologists use them "because" of their markings, because they can easily tell the difference between the stocked fish and native fish populations.

    Some "experts" have even said that they don't hit or fight any harder than a "regular" Black Crappie. I don't know how many "THEY'VE" caught, or who they talked to and got that information from ... but, the one's I've caught --- wasn't much guesswork for me to figure out I had a Blacknose on :p ... since they pull harder, go ever whichaway in a big hurry, and even jump clear out of the water on occasion. Ain't been no "regular" Black OR White Crappie that's done that to me ... only the Blacknose !! (if you happen upon a certain one of my posts, about Blacknose Crappie, you'll get to read about the one that jumped clear over the front of the boat )
