Fishing a brush pile on Lake Murvaul and caught this crappie with a very interesting genetic marking. The fish's defect ran from its top lip to the beginning of its dorsal fin. I thought it was really unique how linear the mark stretched. Hadn't seen a fish with anything like it before. Would've gone in the livewell but luckily for him I missed the toss haha!

Brandon Booth 0@TennesseeTroutboy Texas has a lot of them. Our ponds have them too due to stocking crappie with the gene that causes the black nose.

Collin Collin 0Thanks for the info! Our friend that fishes that particular lake said he's seen a couple like it in there before @TennesseeTroutboy

TennesseeTroutboy 0That is actually a mutation of black crappie called black nose crappie. It's so common around here it might as well be a separate species
