Bucky, crappie are good, but around here we usually fish for them in the winter through the ice. I think they are a lot better then. The prime fish around here are largemouth, perch, and bluegill. A lot of restaurants around here sell bluegill. I, for one, don't understand you southerners fascination with catfish. I don't like it at all and will gladly order walleye if it's on the menu.
