What is this black stripe on this crappie?

[NIMROD]

We call them Mohawk crappie, they thump like a whale crappie most of the time.
Like stated earlier originally called Arkansas black nosed back when.
There are several versions of them that have been hybridized
Some naturally and some in labs
There are even a very few we seen that are white crappie with the stripe too , obviously done via Mother Nature and some confusion on who needs to be where when they spawn.
And why some are dark and striped and some are light and striped who knows, seen chocolate stripes and el marko black striped and so forth .

The Whites may actually be hybrids of a sort if they carry the black stripe

about positive yes , my bud ketched one a few years back , most for sure a white crappie it seemed , but it also had a definitive stripe on it
it was cool looking but I never seen another one anywhere else .
i saw some they do for farm ponds here in Texas that are cool too , but cant remember what the cross was or the name
