I trust that when AJS said it had seven spines that it did. I can't tell on the pic. I was not referring to those on the stringer but to the one held up. That fish does have a divergence in patterns - may be a cross.
Just to be clear the one that looks like a black crappie is the one where he is wearing a red jacket. The pic with him holding one wearing a blue shirt had the markings and color of a male white crappie in a dark spawning phase.
