Awww isn't that sweet. Slab cousins. I wish we had white crappie here in Floridda

Awesome pair of slabs, Dennis. You're right, it's long odds of catching two like that, especially a black and a white back to back. Go back while your luck is still good!

they look more like a male & female Black Crappie (male in your right hand - female in your left). You probably interrupted their courtship ritual with those pesky minnows :p !!!

One can sometimes tell whether the fish that's biting, is male or female (when using minnows under a cork) .... females seem to pull the cork under slowly but steadily, and straight down - while the males yank it under, on the run. At least, that's been my observation from fishing minnow/cork in the "buck bushes" at Barkley Lake .... have you seen similar behavior ................. cp

[Gar-Getter]

you got a real nice pair. looks good

[rango]

looks like two black crappie to me.. one,, the darker one a male and the lighter one, a female. I cant tell much about the darker one, but it looks like a male. they turn dark like that when they spawning

Were you on the north end of the lake, wolf river, or south end eagle creek?

I thought the same thing, 2 black crappie. Dark male and light female. Then I decided they were really 4 big fillets. Nice fish.

Crappiepappy and Rango, after a second look, I think you're right. I looked closer and seems like the male even has the lower part of his tail fin worn away. Good call.

[crap-king]

I agree - big ole fillets
