In Florida, they call the fish a “speck.” Louisiana anglers call the same fish a sac-a-lait. Some Southern anglers pronounce crappie as “crappy” and Northern and Midwestern fishermen pronounce the same fish as “croppie.” No matter how you pronounce crappie, its genus name is Pomoxis and the two recognized species of this genus are the white crappie and the black …
Panfish (primarily sunfish, crappie, and perch) are some of America’s favorite fish to catch because they are eager and willing to bite and plentiful in most fisheries across the country.

Did you know the world record Walleye was caught in Tennessee? That’s right, I said TENNESEE!

A HUGE difference, compared to most fishing records. “I first thought I …
Cooking fish into a delicious meal is an incredibly rewarding experience. Add in the primitive acts of catching a fish, cleaning it, and creating a fire to cook it on, and the experience is magnified tremendously.

Yeah, dude. It’s so fun. Why did you even click that? If you don’t think fishing is fun, watch this: If you aren’t pumped to go fishing after that, you’re a nerd (no offense). Plain and simple.
