good answer Tony!

Two things I am convinced of John ....when it comes to fish, the words "always", and "never", deserve very limited usage!

Usually, sounds better most times, including this one!

Thanks for the link Tony ! Do the Hybrids ALWAYS sport the 7 spines like the Black Crappie as far as you know .?

Good stuff John looks like you caught some quality fish.

Here are a  a few nice Crappie that I got onto 11/4/13.The wide 12" took one of the jigs on a tandem rig that was wiping up on Yellow Perch .About 6 of the 8 Crappies took a squirrel Tail Jig/1"Chartruese twister tail ,floated  .The Crappie  were coming out under leaves blown to the end of the lake on the rip rap .I was in the right place at the right time.

i believe this to be the defacto standard manual on crappie ever written. this happens to be my second copy... the first copy i purchased in the mid eighties was lost in the move i made to my latest residence. found it on amazon! it is a very worthwhile read.
