    Default Black Nosed crappie,


    We fished lake Chickamagua in Tennessee earlier this week and limited in the mouth if a creek, but anyway 2 of the undersized fish had a prominate black spot in the center of there bottom lip, I had never seen this before, but had seen pix if blacknosed crappie, but they have a black stripe running from the doral fin to there lips. So I am wondering if these fish are black nose or possibly have a spit or there genetics? Obtw these are pictures of 2 different fish, ummm that and we wernt far from Watts Bar nucular power plant!!!Name:  20190402_144835.jpeg

    Same genetic anomaly. Did they glow in the dark?

    I guess a genetic marker thing will be for the nose and the lips. This most likely is just a mutt instead of pure breed. Tugs on the line and cooks in the grease all the same though.

    I caught a "Black lipped" crappie on Guntersville this week. No stripe on it's head though. Looked exactly like the one you have in the picture and it was also a small one. Probably 6-7". You may not know since you "ain't from around here" but Guntersville is downstream of Chick.

    There's still a bit of a debate on whether the black stripe marking gene is a dominant gene or recessive gene. The most often used idea is that the gene is recessive (comes from both parents) ... but, when people start showing pics of White Crappie with the black stripe, then the idea that it's a dominant gene has some merit.

    Those "black lipped" fish could be a few generations down the line from a hybrid cross

    I do know that Watts Bar has Blacknose Crappie out the yingyang, and they are periodically stocked. We've been catching them out of WB for decades !! I actually don't remember catching a "regular" Black Crappie from WB, as it seems most of them were Blacknose.

    Interesting, we went through close to 60 fish Tuesday, only 2 short black nose. After much debate on here and Facebook Ive decided to call these crappie Copenhagen Crappie! Possibly a Watts bar strain!
