Some people in the midwest call drum white perch while in the northeast they call them sheephead.

We call them welfare walleyes.

That would be a gaspergou

Honestly, I don't believe I have ever caught one.

…. That’s name in east Texas… or gou for short

… white perch are what others call crappie

I can put you on em if you want.

That is amazing.

I get that you southern guys call crappie white perch. Crappie have lots of colloquial names.

But real white perch are an actual specie of fish in the bass family (Moronidae). They are not the perch family (Percidae). And not in the crappie family (Centrarchidae) either.

I don't want any. I will be happy with Grayling, Tiger Trout and Browns this net week.

So what are you calling a white perch, then?

I do enjoy rubbing elbows with upper class folks like yourself. But if you ever decide to go slumming, Emmett and I can put you on the fish that us poor folk chase.

Here you go , 160. A guided trip wouldn't cost you much.

…. I don’t know what bible verse you’re quoting

… but this here is white perch lol

Upper class? I just plan to stretch a gill next across the creek and drink beer.

Those are crappie except for the one on the right. I am not sure what that is but it may just be the picture.

Yup. That's why you and I get along. I almost forgot. Lol.

… good mess of gou lol

A guy can never have too much mink and coon bait I guess.

You EAT those things Sam?

Yes ma'am. I'm sure I'll catch heck for it, but I really enjoy them. I've cooked them for a bunch of people, and nobody has ever been disappointed with them until after I told them what they were.
