Strangely I have not seen a small one.

Congrats on the Bonus Thumps! I love shooting docks for those Big Ol Hand Kandys!

Pontoons boats paid off well on that trip.

we have them in some spots thick and other spots hardly a trace , and some of the water bodies are connected .
my favorite personally as far as coloration , not much beats an Arkansas Black nosed crappie in the color coolness agenda in the crappie world
congrats and KABOOM

They are some pretty fish

[Ketchn]

some here have light chocolate colored stripes and some have permanent marker black stripes .
the male fish when they spawn are just eye poppers and, that is a fact

I did some reading on them. I also read where the Magnolia crappie was a hybrid using the Black Nose crappie to get a sterile fish for use in ponds. Supposed to grow to some large sizes

Cool for sure, I have never caught a black nose.

Center Hill….Dale Hollow…JPP…Normandy, is full of them. Couple of years back my late nephew and I were fishing below Center Hill Dam in the Caney Fork….a trout river. We had 30 fish limit that was just shy of 60 pounds. Nothing was under 14 inches and we had a lot of 15-16 inch fish. Both of us fishing UL rods with 2# test line. Many of those fish were hard to turn our way with the gear we were using. Up in the lake it is same way….full of big black nose. I have never caught any in the lake at Nickajack but below the dam….which is technically Guntersville…..black nose are quite prevalent. TN stocks tons of them mostly in deep, clear reservoirs. But in the past few years they have been stocking Old Hickory with them also. I keep up with the TWRA warm water stockings and I don’t recall ever seeing a report on where they do stockings in Chickamauga.

Seem to be a few out there to be caught. I don't catch them very often
