Whats with the eyes ?
Anyone know why some black crappie have black vertical bar on the eyes?
On some lakes its almost all the blacks, other lakes its a mix of both regular eye no bar and with bars

Did they also have a black stripe on their back?

All the fish i caught on Cedar today had those bars but they were deep in 30 feet of water. Don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

I have caught them deep and shallow both. Fished Old Hickory this week for the first time and caught a few there with the bar on their eyes

If you Google "crappie eyes" and click on "Images", you'll see that the vertical bars on the eyes may not be all that uncommon (with even some pics of White Crappie with the black bar in the eyes).
I "kinda" remember seeing some Crappie with that bar, but never thought much about it.
Wonder if our esteemed KDFWR biologists have an explanation ??

After the fish spend a couple hours in the live well it was gone. The one i took a picture of was a White crappie the rest were blacks.
