Arkansas Blacknose Crappie

[Jerry Blake]

Folks have asked several times about the Arkansas Blacknose Crappie so I took some pictures of this 15.5-inch one this young man caught fishing with me today. It's the biggest Blacknose I've seen in a long time.

It was the same day last year this young man caught the biggest crappie on my boat for the year, which was this 17.5-inch/2-pound, 6-ounce Black.

This guy seems to have a knack for crappie fishing!

That's a nice fish Jerry.!! I caught one a couple of days ago with the fillet stripe (I call it a guide for the fillet knife!! HEHEHE), but it wasn't near that big. Keep'em coming.

Those are a couple of nice Crappie. It sounds like the young man has the knack for big Crappie. Congrats to the young Man.

Wish the blacknoses would set up shop here. Only caught one in me life and that was last year. It was 'bout an 8 incher. They here, but in small numbers. I don't hear bout them much.

Jerry Blake, the blacknose do really well here in southern middle Tennessee. I have caught many between 10 and 16 and a half inches in the last year and 9 months that I've lived here. I usually catch more blacknose than anything when I fish Tims and Normandy, but not as many on Woods. I only had nine keepers this morning, the rain and wind was horrid, but they were all 12 and a half to 15 inches long. Seven of them were blacknose. I probably caught 20 or so dinks with about 15 of them being blacknose. I had never even heard of a blacknose crappie until I moved here, thought I'd caught a deformed crappie the first time lol.
