I have always called and hear them called crappie.
In Central Fla. where I grew up it's Speckled Perch.
Linguistics experts may not always agree, but "crappie" sounds alright to me.
I always thought it was croppie because crappie doesnt fit. They taste good, and are fun to catch since you can just pull them int o the boat. Godd for younger fishermen/women
In NC, it's a crappie.
I pronoune it croppie.
Spelled crappie but pronounced croppie.
Teufelhunden has it right. We call 'em specks too.
Difference between a white and black crappie- its the number spines on their dorsal fin (top fin) White Crappie have 6 spines, Black has 7 or 8.
it is spelled Crappie
Crappie here in Ark.
It's crappie but it really doesn't matter it's your own preference. Good luck fishin'!
Croppie where I come from, same as in Merriam-Webster's dictionary. Still throws me whenever I hear someone say crappie. So how do you pronounce Rapala?
Its spelled crappie but prounce croppie
in indiana its pronounced like croppie. but spelled like crappie.
i now confused. I think i will just say it like croppie and not spell it if possible!
I'm a fish biologist- every report, paper, or fish ID book that I have read spells it crappie.
I almost forgot that we call them papermouths too
Where I'm from they are White Perch. Properly spelled Crappie we southerner's also pronounce it with an "A" rather than the long "o".
I never heard anyone in Alabama call a crappie anything other than pronounced "crop-ie", no "a" sound in the word. Some of you must be from Southern Michigan or somewhere other than Alabama, Mississippi, or Tennessee. LOL
Hey, lay off S. Michigan, I've never pronounced it "Craapie"
Are you refering to having a bad day?
A good crappie day is a wonderful thing.
pronounced croppie, spelled crappie.
Everyone in Alabama that i know spell it Crappie but pronounce it with an "O" instead of an "A".
I really don't care, but I've heard it pronounced both ways.
I thaught It was Croppie until I started seeing posted hear. Never heard it called Crappie before. Sound's more like sour meat than a fish. I'll eat um no matter how it's spelled.
Spelled "crappie", pronounced "croppy"
