"I HAVE FISHED THROUGH FISHLESS DAYS THAT I REMEMBER HAPPILY WITHOUT REGRET"
Never caught one or seen one in person, but we did have someone post a pic of one on here not too long ago.
If the Blacknose passes on the genetic trait to regular Black Crappie they breed with, and a Black/White crossbred offspring is possible (and we know it is), then why couldn't the marker gene of a Blacknose get transmitted to a White Crappie (might take a generation or two, but it is possible)
I don't think Biologists fully understand the evolutionary benefit of the black mark ... but I have a theory : it serves the same purpose as the eye black grease used by football players -- to reduce glare. And it may also be an extra bit of camouflage.
pretty rare to see in the wild for sure . some states breed some on purpose to stock them ,but as far as the wild version I have not seen very many.

Starting to hear of more being caught lately.
Never seen or heard of one, but that's cool! I actually caught my first black nose this past weekend here in SC

Hooking up every chance I get!
It doesn’t surprise me although I have never seen one......and I fish waters that are full of black nose and white crappie.

Never caught one
We see them every once in a while in mississippi! alot of folks call them magnolia crappie. Its supposed to be a black/white hybrid that has been stocked. I could be wrong but I want to say that i have been told they do not reproduce.
I think Clinton Lake in Illinois has them stocked.
