It looks to me like it might be a mohawk crappie. Did you end up catching this fish?
it was a black crappie Lane ...I don't think it was a Mohawk though
it was a released fish that wasnt in any hurry to leave
it just sat there for quite a while on top of the rock hovering around
most crappie I release bolt off unless they are stressed bad
this guy was fresh and just not worried ...
