    What do you call them? The crappie debate

    A) Just plain ole "crappie"
    B) Must specify "white crappie"
    C) Must specify "black crappie"
    D) White Perch
    E) Sac au lait

    Georgia folks say crappie ..... Miss folks say white perch (even for a black crappie)
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    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.
