| Don,
There's crappie in Stumpfield. Don't think they're "slab" sized yet,
but big enough to pan fry. Also the Pennichuck has some slabs.

| Just for your info,
A 4.97lb white crappie was caught in Commerce, Ga recently.
Unfortunately, it gets rounded down to 4 15oz so it missed the state
record and was only another 3 oz off the world record of 5lb 3oz.

| 498.3 | Did someone say "crappie?" | LEXSS1::JOHNHC | | Mon Apr 29 1996 20:44 | 15 |
| Don --
Define "crappie" for me, will you? We've been down this trail before,
in the Rathole, I think.
Do you mean the so-called "White Crappie" and/or the so-called "Black
Crappie (aka Calico Bass)?"
The word "crappie" is very clearly a regionalism, as is the
pronunciation of the word. It means something very different in the
Midwest, the South, and New England. I have no idea what it means in
the Mountain States or along the West Coast.

the calico bass and the black crappie are not the same in Colorado
but in the south, i've heard both used for the same fish, although in
Ga we had only white crappie

re: Do you mean the so-called "White Crappie" and/or the so-called
"Black Crappie (aka Calico Bass)?"
Yes. I've fished from Okeechobee to Memphramagog (all the way up and
down the east coast) and I haven't seen much confusion over the subject.
While some small pockets of fishermen or conservationalists like yourself
may confuse the subject from time to time, those who really fish for
crappie know what a crappie is. Look at any fishing text, or "Crappie"
magazine and you'll see what a crappie is.

| Pulled one out of the MET, "Sudbury Res." last week just under 2 lbs.
Havn't seen many bigger around here. Lake Boon has some and you might
grab a sizable one from the Sudbury river.
Crappie, Calico bass, Rock bass. All the same thing were I Fish.
Never heard them called "black" or "white" though.

| There are some sizable Crappie, Calico bass, in Heards Pond
in Wayland. It's a small pond fed by the Sudbury River that
gets some relly heavy pressure from shore but by canoe it's
fast and furious.
