Crappie! Up north, some call them white perch or something like that. Not sold like Tilapia. All white meat, and very low fat content. About the best eating freshwater fish. Most of these will have a date with some cornmeal and hot grease.

In Minnesota they are crappie. And I almost agree about the best tasting freshwater fish there is. I prefer walleye, but damn sure eat a lot of crappie here.

mmmm dang..nice bunch of crappie! They are great eating. I've smoked walleye before using a recipe from "smoke n spice" for smoked catfish. turned out pretty good. used the leftovers to make a dip with recipe from same book.

Hell yeah!!! Nice mess of crappie Ty! With such low fat content, I don't know how well they'll take to smoking but good luck with that! Now I'm dreaming about crappie fried up in cornmeal! Mmmm...
Kevin said:
I'll see your walleye and raise you a yellow perch... I agree that walleye is the best, but fresh yellow perch are close, then followed closely by crappie!
Nice catch, Ty!

Perch are great, but cleaning them suckers dulls your knife so much I just quit keeping them. They got skin like sand paper, and bones made of iron.
So my Southern Brethren, looking at his stringer, is "brim" the same as "crappie" or is brim bluegill or something.

Brim, Bluegill, Perch.....are pretty much the same, just different size
and colors.
Crappie are larger and have a big mouth. PLUS....a challenge to locate and catch.

You were probably working! I decided to go at 11pm last night. Left the house at 6:15am. I might go again Wed. Not sure if I'll take the boat out or hit the same bank spot. I can tell ya where to go and what to use.

Some of those look like white perch or white bass and not crappie. Could be the glare/lighting

Nothing like feeling that little "tick" or "thump" and setting the hook! I love crappie fishing better than any other kinda fishing! Never use minnows though... jigs only here!
