The Blacknose or Black-Stripe Crappie | A Life-List Fish?
Is the blacknose crappie just a black crappie? What is a magnolia crappie? Why is this fish sort of a rarity in our natural waters? Well, it begins with some interesting genetics. We'll cover the basics of genetic inheritance between recessive and dominant alleles in fishes. Then we'll touch on why this melanism is fairly rare and where to find some blacknose and magnolia crappie for fishing.

    After getting back into fishing since a kid. It's been 10 years. Trout fishing was my thing on ultralight and light gear for a while. Then I started bluegill fishing a little because I knew they were also good eating. The first green sunfish I caught were on bass or smallmouth lures and they were decent size. I thought they were smallmouth bass because there mouth was so much bigger than a bluegill and they were shaped a bit differently. I caught one the other day on a top water popper .

    Hello! I absolutely love your videos and the care you take in preserving the fish in catch and release. one question regarding hook sizes: do these sizes apply to circle hooks as well? I use them to reduce gut hooking and have been struggling to find the right size. I mainly creek fish, so I'm catching a variety of fish that are about the size of a decent sized redbreast. Any tips as well? Keep it up!

    If you want a great lure to fish on a dropshot for bigger sunfish use a Pautzke trout worm. They are stretchy like mule fishing lures. You can trim it down if you like. You can catch a bunch of fish on one worm.

    Watched the video this morning and went out to the stingy city lake early afternoon and hot. Usually catch 2-4 fish. Tied the knot per your instructions and baited per instructions. Wow with the hook up properly caught 22 (they weren’t very big but it’s a heavily fished lake). Number 4 Aberdeen hook worked great. No one else was catching anything. What a blast!! That was the best knot video I’ve seen (the color helped). Thanks

    My neighborhood has a man made block long channel or what we all call, community pond. I’ve live in this neighborhood for 14 years. Every spring we catch anywhere from 10 to 30 daily, just about everyone does the same thing, catch and release. Way to much fertilizer runoff in nicer neighborhoods to want to eat anything caught in these waters. Anyhow, in 14 years of fishing,I have never seen anything like you mentioned. Two months ago, I caught one of those and I honestly thought it was just a freak of nature. We have blackish and white crappies in this pond, so it must be a combination of the breading.

    Just for more information…I’ve caught many more black nosed crappie from a known stocked reservoir than a local natural lake I fish..the natural lake has many more natural population and I’ve caught maybye 2…I’ve caught way less number wise in the reservoir but quite a few black nose..so my guess is that stocked fish have a better chance of getting blacknose

    Very cool Koaw! I caught them in Maryland a few years ago in a private pond, and then later in some public ponds. I wondered what the deal with that stripe was. If I caught them prior to that, then I probably just didn't notice them. But, the genetic story makes total sense and is really fascinating. Best wishes.

    We have a spot here in NC that has Blacknose naturally existing. On a good day, mostly smaller fish, we can catch around 50 fish. Of thouse, maybe 4 or 5 will be Blacknose. I'm with you that on mixed normal and Blacknose populations, there is probably a lot of dispersal of the Blacknose genetics so probably a lot of the fish are carrying the genes, but only a few fish out of every spawning a coming out with the Blacknose trait. We don't havest much from this location, but when we do we exclusively only keep the normal looking fish to try to influence the amount of blacknose left to breed back, though I doubt it's enough to really effect much. I would love to take some of these fish and stock exclusively Blacknose into confined waters and the only harvest normal looking fish out as they spawn to greater the probability of Blacknose becoming the sole dominant trait in those waters. I've only done it a couple times, but nothing is cooler than bring up a 12" + Blacknose!

    • @KNFishingSmarts

    With upturned hook eyes, if the line comes out the top/back it tends to lever the hook point away from the fishes mouth, likely to result in missed bites or the fish becoming unpinned. The line should come out the front/bottom of the hook eye which will keep the hook point going into the fishes jaw.
