Gray crappie eggs

[mb4850]

A lot of the crappie we caught today had eggs that were a pale grayish color. Any ideas why. I've seen this before but not this much.

Did you have the fish on ice?

That coloration tends to make me think the eggs are being absorbed by the female, because the conditions for spawning are no longer viable.

Those fish are spawned out.
