[bugman]

Glad you're gettin on em beagle....you're about to talk me into hittin the flats.that shiney new rod and tip is wrapped in plastic just waitin on ya ole buddy,it'll be ready for some of those southern Mo slabs and walleye.Now i have a question for ya,how in the hell do you tell the difference in male and female fish?i thought the only way was the egg sac
BTW...i think i must have a little crow in me so bring me that nasty walleye...feed me!!!

[beagle man]

Now bugman I guess I forgot to tell you I fileted the crappie it makes it so much easier to eat then If they have eggs they are female and if they dont they probably are male move to the head of the class.

[bugman]

Now you really have me confused,you said that they had no eggs at all but that only 5 were males

OK one more try I sometimes think to fast and move to slow. when I cleaned the fish 5 were males you can tell by the little white sack you know for fertlizing the eggs and the females dont have that, so If the white sac isnt present walla female but with no eggs. either they didnt make eggs or their is something wrong with them or something in the water still cofussed call me.

Beagle Man- this might be a stupid question, why do the females have so many eggs already? I have cleaned 93 in the last two trips and it seemed like 70% where female with eggs. Are they already producing them for spring? Also, I grew up on stockton lake until I moved to Kansas in the early 1990s and havent fished it since. Its kind of a shame, beautiful lake and only about an 1 1/2 hours away, my cousin still owns a resturant there.

[bugman]

I understand the reproductive traits of crappie but the way he put it was kind of confusing to me.
