crappie trip 2
« on: May 17, 2018, 09:51 PM »
after finishing eating the rest of my previous haul i knew i needed to get more. took the boat out yesterday and kept another dozen and let around 2 dozen go. they averaged a little bigger this time with a decent around around 9-10in and i got a couple of 12in specimens. by far crappie is one of the best fish i have ever eaten and i will rival it with saltwater fish like cod, seabass, fluke, and tautog.

not at all in my opinion. they are white and a steaky meat vs sweet soft and yellowish.

White perch are actually in the temperate bass family, closely related to striped bass and white bass. The taste is said to be similar to crappie.
