Haha. I'd never call them sac au lait b/c I'm not a Cajun but I love it. Easily my favorite

True. I remember my grandparents calling them white perch. Crappie is a relatively new term for me.

North Mississippi says crappie, not white perch. First time I heard people from Jackson and Vicksburg area say white perch I didn't know what fish they were talking about.

Growing up my Dad and I called them "white perch" but now I just call them "crappie". Headed to south LA early in the morning so I may try to harvest a few "sac a lait"

Exactly. I grew up catching white perch in central MS. Now that I'm in the NE part of the state I catch crappie.

I live in the Delta and it is about a 70/30 ratio of crappie to white perch. I call them crappie. As a matter of fact they have been biting pretty good this way.
