[cool][#0000ff]Those are white crappies...and darned nice ones too. They are not nearly as widely distributed in the US as black crappies.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here is a picture of both, for comparison. The white crappie has vertical bars but the black crappie is mostly just speckled. The males turn very dark during spawning season...the reason for the name.[/#0000ff]
