Bassgill
So i fished Ashburn lake this morning. I caught a 1 pounder. it had the body of a bluegill, but the fins and head of a bass. it wasnt a normal lookin bass. in my mind, bass are more cylindrical, and bluegill are flatter through the body. I will upload pic in a few. its prolly a bass, but looked weird.

Re: Bassgill
Yeah, I know, remember the Burke Lake incident? You didn't believe they were different species when I said they were. That's my one fish nerd triumph, I'm never letting that one go.

Black Crappie... I was too hoping for some sort of fish hybrid.
I'll try to take some pictures of the ones we have at Smith Mountain Lake this weekend. They are bluegills/sunfish/pumkinseeds but sometimes get very large and have mouths you can thumb like bass.

It's actually a white crappie. No black crappie in our lakes here.
Further south, they are called a "callico bass" .

Re: Bassgill
I agree. While you may have only ordered white crappie, its possible they got mixed up at the hatchery. My vote is for black as well but maybes its the camera!

Re: Bassgill
Sorry fellas, but it is a white. We went round & round on this 2+ years ago on this forum. And I even posted the different photos as well. I've caught literally hundreds and hundreds of crappie from these lakes..........and every one has been a white.

OK Curly may be right, here's his 2lber from earlier this year.. Despite the resemblance to a black crappie..I only count 6 dorsal spines...
