Where did the nick-name Crappie originate from?
Quoted text from wiki...
"The common name (also spelled croppie or crappé), derives from the Canadian French crapet, which refers to many different fishes of the sunfish family. Other names for crappie are papermouths, strawberry bass, speckled bass or specks (especially in Michigan), speckled perch, calico bass (throughout New England),[3] sac-a-lait (in southern Louisiana, lit. "milk bag", a rendition of Choctaw sakli)[4] and Oswego bass."
Never heard it called strawberry bass or Oswego bass...interesting...Quote:
