I caught one of those around here, somehere. I think it may have been at EF.

I thought those were a hybrid or something from what some Dale Hollow guys told me. They are thick in Dale. I wouldn't have thought they would occur naturally. I wish there were a bunch in Ohio lakes though. They have a little wild streak ii 'em., A lot of the ones we caught at Dale Hollow came out of the water and faught almost like a bass.

I thought they were a hybrid too. Maybe there's some natural cross breedidng does occur. I've caught a few at Ky Lake also but all the ones I've caught were dinks. If they fight harder, bring 'em on.

I stocked my pond 6 years ago with many types of fish (crappie being one of them) using company from cincinatti. To my surprise today 4 out 5 crappie that is landed are black nosed crappie. They are getting pretty big and yes I do think they fight harder.
