Hey Fatboy, Several people told me that someone caught a 4lb 4oz blacknose on Tims last week. Have you heard about it. I have caught some monsters on Tims since I been fishing it, I knew a HAWG would be caught there pretty soon.

Now that would be a slab.. I hope to catch one that size some day. Would love to have a 4 and 3 mounted on one piece of drift wood.

Yeah Eric, heard about it today. Believe it when I see it myself personally. I don't doubt that there are several 3 pounders in there, but I haven't heard about but just a very very few 4 pounders ever caught anywhere. Never can tell though. I will keep my ears open for anymore info about it.
Pardon my ignorance, but what are you referring to as a blacknose?
There have been several discussions about blaknose crappe on here. Do a search and you should get a great explanation and pictures.
A "Blacknose" is a Black Crappie with a black stripe running from under the "chin" - up between the eyes - to the beginning of the dorsal fin. Arkansas Blacknose Black Crappie are the origins of most all "Blacknose" ... they are just a Black Crappie with a variant coloration gene. They occur naturally in a small portion of the White River (Ark). They were originally used by Fish & Game Biologists, to stock small waters, as a testing agent ... because they could be recognized apart from the indiginous fish of those waters. Their success with these fish, for stocking/testing purposes, led them to offer them as "stock" fish ... and have been introduced into many different waters. Flooded stock ponds have also added them into several other waterways.Quote:

........... cp :cool:
Thanks for the explaination. I have never heard of a blacknose, but I learn something new on here everyday. I know blacks and whites differ in character some what, So I guess the blacknose would also.
I had never heard of these either until I saw the pictures on this website - must not be common in NC
Blacknose are mostly what we catch in Lake Monticello, in S.E. Arkansas, real scrappy fish!
That is a new one for me too.
