    i heard that by counting the dorsal fins. i believe, but not positive, its a male if it has more than 6 bones in the dorsal fin that its a female. may be the other way around. i think rusty told me that at blackshear slabfest. let him chime in.

    The number of dorsal fin spines is how you determine if it's a white crappie or black crappie.

    It's all part of the evolution process. In about 2.5 million years humans will be doing that too....
    Birddog,

    I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.
