Well I wish I would have had my camera, but I was able to pull a black crappie off the bank in my small pond. Think it was try to nest up in about 6 inches of water, and you could see the black stripe down its nose.

My father tried a few times to get it with a jig, but I had to show him up and toss a minnow out, it was neat to what it come up and hit the minnow.

Not sure why they had the black nose, as I did not think that is what I bought, but sometimes you may not know where your source came from. Still a nice 10 inch crappie which was stocked 2 years ago at 3-4 inches.
