[DrNip]

Usually call them crappie but sometimes depends on how I did that day. Might use some explicit words to describe them then!

What He Said! Personally I had to become a convert growing up on the West Bank they were Sac-a-lait (Bags of Milk) but the national postings on the internet forced me to convert to Crappie. If you search for Sac's 5% of the articles that are out there show up. Maybe Google needs to add a bit of code so their engine knows Sac-a-lait is a synonym for the infamous, one and only "Crappie".

It was always speckled perch, paper mouths, or specks. But I agree with many here, call’em what you want just don’t call us late for supper.

On my home lake here in NW Pennsylvania, my friends call a nine inch black crappie a Chauncy. Mainly because they’re like me. Short, fat, and black.

In my house they are called "Yummies" because as Wally Marshall says "Them Tater Chips" are so good in your belly!"
