Heck yeah Joel! That was a great time. I sure hope Big John enjoyed himself. Thanks again to your and your brother for the fine food and letting us watch the game. We will certainly have to do that again.

Wouldn't it more likely be a regular Blacknose Black Crappie, than a Magnolia Crappie, seeing as how Miss. only stocked small bodies of water with the Magnolia Crappie (hybrid cross) ?? Or were you just saying "magnolia crappie" as a reference to a Blacknose CAUGHT IN Mississippi (the Magnolia State) ??

In either event, looks like a good'ern .... congrats !!

Thank you, CrappiePappy. To be honest, I'm really not sure. I knew people stocked their ponds with Blacknose to slow down the reproduction, but didn't know if they were in the reservoir's?

It would be a Blacknose / Black stripe crappie, the Magnolias are used to stock ponds and aren't supposed to reproduce, the blacknose is a natural occurring variation in black crappie, pretty rare. And on a side note, Enid is the only lake of the big 4 family that has had a need for any kind of restocking of crappie, and no Magnolias were introduced I'm guessing. All the other 3 lakes have the native crappie that were in the rivers prior to the damming of them, none were introduced. I still call blacknose crappies Magnolias too, even though technically not correct it just sounds better. Either way cool fish, I've only ever caught one as well, and coincidentally it was on Sardis.
