First time I fished for those in 1963 on the Colorado just below Parker Dam the fellow who took me said we were going to catch "croppy" and a lot of them. Never had heard the term before, but he was right. It was a big/fun croppy day and we, and several friends/neighbors, ate a lot of good battered fish that evening. I couldn't wait to go again.

Some years ago when I first heard about someone catching a "crappie" around here I thought "what the hell is a crappie and where did it come from". I've been fishing that lake since I could walk and I have never heard of a crappie. Then a fisherman showed me his stringer of crappies. I figured he was nuts because what he had there was a stringer of strawberry bass! Did you grow up catching crappies or did they have another name back then? crappie, or more generically.. panfish.

Always have known them as crappies, pronounced exactly like it's spelled.
