Good job! I know you like them. Great eating and fun to fish for.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Probably the finest eating that swims right there.

Down here Crappie is both singular and plural, and it's said Croppie.

Ha ha, Savell. We ARE young and spry...although Zim says age and treachery beats youth and exuberance any day! laugh Thanks for your kind thoughts.

We did, Paul! Now we have to decide if our first crappie meals this spring will be low carb or bad behavior! laugh

We'll get some suppers going, Skippy! We had a few steaks and also tuna steaks in the fridge we needed to eat up first. How is the bluegill fishing there right now? Nobody on nests here yet.

Thanks, Trapset!

You know it, MnMan! I live for your pictures!

Sounds like a plan, Finlander! Good luck!

Fillets here, Pete!

Thanks, Flipper! We sure did.

You're a sweetheart, Nessy! I figure I better look good in case I catch the world record and the press closes in! laugh

They are, Rusty!

Thanks, Warrior. Nice to get the Georgian translation - I have never encountered that spelling, but you obviously have great taste!

Thank you so much, Lugnut! I'll get on it soon!

Hope it's a great one, Gary!

You're welcome, Mac!

Music to my ears! Calicos!! The name Calico Bass with a picture of the fish (black & white) was on the back of the MI DNR map book during the years prior to 1968. During the late 60’s a nuc plant was being built just outside our town of Midland MI and with the plant came “travelers”/“outsiders” skilled tradesmen and laborers from all over the country and they brought with them the “new” name “Crappie” which were very common in our local lakes. The once forever name Calico Bass was changed to Crappie and remains today! Now you know the rest of the story! LOL
