We actually hunt them with a bow on the river! I spend countless ours chasing these beasts! I love them smoked and so does everyone that has ever tried it. No one asks for more crappie. They always want more smoked fish. Amazing. I fish for crappie ALOT. They great eatin to. The best one about buffalo is one of guys at work. I took some in to work one night and he ate every last bit! He don't even like to eat fish! That's awesome stuff right there!
