    Default Yellow fin crappie.


    I caught this crappie today in a small reservoir in SE Virginia.



    Anyone ever see one like this before? It was kinda funny. When I caught it another boat was passing by and said "nice" and I was like, "it's yellow". Kinda odd.

    Are you sure you weren't fishing around 3 mile Island? That thing looks like it's glowing!

    its due to the contents of the lake...the lake prob. has a real leafy bottom...the decay from the leafs stain the water witch in turns stains the fish as i understand it...the bass/bream we catch back come in fla in a check looks like that...i wouldnt think there would be any prob with eatting them..

    I don't doubt that the bottom is covered with leaves but visibility on this lake is around 2'-3'. This reservoir also has fliers in it which are not found in many waters. Maybe there is a correlation?

    For those who have never seen a flier.



    Also, this reservoir was closed for 3 years and 8 months. They replaced the spill way and pump station. (water supply reservoir) Since it reopened on May 1, I have caught 540 crappie and this is the only one that was yellow.
