I have heard crappie called white perch In Louisiana and considering he's
from Mississippi I kind of though it might be crappie.We even pronounce the
word Crappie different than others...We say it like CROP-ie...I've heard
others form the north say it like CRAP-ie...Weird I suppose.

I think people call crappie more names in the book than any other
fish. I've heard different pronunications from "Crappie, Croppie, to
Crawpie" and names for them like speck, speckled bass, speckled
crappie, speckled perch, papermouth, moonfish, lamplighter, calico
bass, strawberry, and of course....white perch.

I've read that some people even call them silver bass, butter
bass, grass bass, and oswego bass...but don't recall anyone using
those terms for em'...

Crappie is a great fish and I'll probably spend more time in
October fishing for them than largemouth/smallmouth...
