Q:
Crappie or Croppie? I know it's technically pronounced Croppie but come on, doesn't everyone say Crappie or is that just me? I personally think saying Croppie just sounds pretentious, but I want to know what you guys think!

Crappie, man, all the way.
we call em crappie but our yankee friends pronounce it croppie. i guess it depends on where you are
I learned to say it before I knew how to spell it, but everyone I know here pronounces it "croppie."
I am from New England and it is really a 50/50 split crappie croppie
The correct way to settle this is to call them by their true southern name..... Sac-A-Lait ,
Where I'm from (colorado) its mostly "croppie", where a lot of my family is from (missouri) it is "crappie". I find myself saying whichever the people around me tend to say.
Its Crappie!!!
Where I am, we call 'em "GOOD"! LOL!!!
Personally, the locals use the "O" pronunciation.
I was raised with the "O" word and have only heard the "A" word used in the "Deep" South.
Really doesn't matter one way or the other, I "know" what either means.... "GOOD"!!!
Louisiana, in the south mostly, use sac-a-lait. It means "sack of milk". They are also called "paper mouth" in Louisiana because of their fragile mouths.
Set a hook "real" hard on a crappie, and you'll understand why.

i have always heard it crappie, but some people use the o and i was very surprised when Mr. Cermele use Croppie on an episode of Hook Shots!
I grew up calling them white perch.
Call 'em whatever you choose. Just makes it easier to determine if you are a yankee or a newbie. LOL
Up here in the frozen north we call them croppie and they sure don't taste crappy. I'm sorry if that sounds pretentious to you.
Happy Crappie to you all!
Most people in Oklahoma here call bluegill 'perch'. Some people think it's pretentious to call 'em "bluegill". People say "sand bass" instead of "white bass". The world of fishing has it's own regional dialects. It's all fun.
We call em delicious.
we call them croppie its kinda like the dip and chew thing i dont think it matters
we call them croppie its kinda like the dip and chew thing i dont think it matters
In Ohio everyone I know call them Croppie.
Everyone I know in Missouri call them "croppie". I have never heard anyone say it "crappie".
