...couldn't resist, crappie taste so good. I’m sure there is someone that doesn’t like eating them. Not that whites are bad, just a little more skill to prepare. A novice can clean and cook crappie with no bones or red meat. 

Crappie taste like whatever you coat them in.  In other words...they have no flavor of their own.   People who don't like fish eat crappie.

If you closed your eyes you wouldn't be able to tell a bite of crappie from a bite of a hushpuppy.

If it ain’t fried, I won’t eat a fish. Good breading keeps a fat boy coming back....

nobody shows up for a “fish bake” or “fish grill”...

you are spot on with the fight of the fish. Whites have a grudge. Like a jack Russel...

It's sexy, I'll give it that.   Those pink sparkly niblets look like a jar full of stripper nipples. Gets me hornier than a pet coon.

People who think crappie have no flavor of their own are too used to having to use spices to make other fish taste good.

I'm just trying to get you Speck chasers fired up.   I love a plate of crappie fillets, but my family can only eat so much crappie in a years time.

The guys I intend to pick on a little bit are the ones that spend thousands of dollars on ultra high dollar electronics and thousands more on specialized crappie gear, and chase crappie all year long, all over the country.   What the hell?    They are addicted to that little "tick" and I feel sorry for them.   That would be like being addicted to swatting flys.  Actually swatting a fly is 60% more satisfying than catching a crappie.  (My crazy addiction).   Better than eating the stuffing out of your mattress I guess.

I gotta admit that I am somewhat addicted to tic/thump.  Now whether its a crappie, walleye, or white well I am not picky.  I have had some awfully gentle tics on a jig turn into a screaming run from a big hybrid on LOZ and Truman.  Always fun.

Yeah THAT'S fun. 

Cranking in a crappie as if it's a wet sock....over and over and over and over again.....Only fun if your drunk as hell and have someone laughing about it.

Kids came home so I fried up those white bass tonight.  Removed every speck of red meat, drenched them in flour then into milk and mayonnaise then into a bag of flour,  panko and regular bread crumbs then into a heavy skillet with olive oil.   Fried until crispy and served with homemade beer.  Simply excellent.

You really don't have to shave off every bit of red, just carve out that dark strip of lateral line that goes deep into the fillet.

I agree Wrench but I did not want to take a chance of the women complaining.
