If you look back thru some of the prior discussions on Blacknose, from right here on Crappie.com ... and right off your's truly's posts ... you will see that the "hybrid" idea was being touted back then :o
But ,,, once I learned what a Blacknose really was, I recanted :p

You owe no apology, as you clearly stated where your info came from. Maybe you should contact Crappie World Magazine, and set the record straight :D They're the ones that owe the apology

Thanks, everyone. I didn't realize they were a hybrid. I did catch a crappie once that looked half-black and half-white. It had bars on the upper half of the body and speckles on the back half. Weird-looking thing. TeamCSJE, I have seen some lunker crappie and they usually are grotesque in some way. I saw one caught at Cumberland City, TN that was about 3 pounds that was round as a dinner plate. My biggest was normal-shaped but the mouth was really big-- I thought I had a bass when I was reeling it in!

Ya'll are lucky, we only got 2 kinds down here. Mine and Yours. Mine are very hard to catch and there are way more Your Crappie than people will admit. Plus, they lie about where they catch them. There is a subset of Mine Crappie though, Keepers and Shorts. Way more Shorts than Keepers. Therefore, Mine Crappie in the subset of Keepers are quite rare. Some say extinct even.

Here's a hybrid, triploid, government, Mine-Short Crappie I caught in Feb this year.
