Male Black Crappie can also have their black spot pigmentation cover so much of their body, that they can be confused with the over-pigmented male White Crappie.

    Here's an article that has some good identification pics/info : http://www.tnfish.org/SpeciesFishInf...latus_TWRA.htm (and, yes ... I do have permission from Jim Negus to post those pictures)

    I've had a couple of instances where I have had to go to the dorsal fins for a spine count to be sure during the spawn. Those males can fool you at times

    I know them as soon as I see them. Kinda like catching a Kentucky. There is a look you get to know, and no color change is going to confuse that.

    biggest question you should ask is whether you are going to fillet them with an electric carving knife or a manual knife

    Sometimes it seems the whites are deeper and the blacks shallower.

    I have noticed the blacks are in the brush/grass and the whites are in the open water for some reason. Don't know why.
