Hey Slip, here's something I posted before I thought you'd find interesting .: "Regarding Black Coloring of Crappie being Male only , here is a quote from ,'In-Fisherman Critical Concepts 2 ;Crappie Location ': "Crappies turn dark to absorb maximum sunlight .The heating process then keys their metabolism for greater feeding and  quicker egg maturation . Some anglers suppose that only Males turn coal black" Apparently both sexes do .Could this be at all true of Bluegills and other fish?" Granted this time of year isn't spawning but ya gotta wonder if turning themselves black to absorb heat better is a brilliant way for them to great a metabolism for an aggressive feed to stay ahed of the game and be healthy . What do you think?
