People say the weirdest things

See thread to see the fish in reference:

http://www.crappie.com/crappie/louis...4-08-mess.html

So my 2 hours of free time to fish was coming to a close... I had 5 nice crappie in the cooler and this guy walks up and asks me, "Doing any good?". My reply was basically, "yeah doing alright"... he looks in the cooler and says, "wow them some big fish... what are those?". I replied "those are crappie", and the guy looks me dead in the eye with a straight faced and says to me, "no wonder their big... all I ever catch are white perch... sure wish I could put some crappie in my cooler".
With that said I just grabbed my stuff and ent to the truck to head home. Didn't have the energy to explain to him.

You have got to be joking..LMOA

I wish I was... this kinda stuff can't be made up. LOL.

I worked at AutoZone once and this guy came in to buy a part. I asked him what kind of car he had and he said a Pontiac GOOLE. I said I had never heard of it so we went out to look at his car and it was a Pontiac 6000LE. I said sir you had better let someone else work on your car.

Kinda like the blonde joke where she asked for a new 710 cap for her car.Parts guy finally figured out it was an oil cap :)

Guess all regions have there own name for perch.Up in Mn. it was the true perch.Here in mo. a lot of people call all bluegills perch.I've never heard crappie called white perch till I joined this board

Here in Kansas White Perch are a nuisance species.

They were accidentally introduced into Wilson and Cheney Reservoirs as contaminants in fish stockings.

I'm missing the weird part. I keep reading it but don't get it. Explain please.

The white perch is a moron. Doubling rate of 4.5 to 14 years. Not sure it they are talking about the white perch we have around here.

I'm originally from south Louisiana (below new orleans) All we ever call them is Sac a lait.

Well moving to South Mississippi and living here now going on 10 years it took me forever to find out what these locals were calling a white pearch.

I was fishing one day and a guy rode up to me and asked if I was catching any white pearch? I said, " No, but I can't keep these Sac A Lait off of my line."
He told me that it was the same damn thing! :rolleyes:

It all depends on which part of Louisiana you are from. Certain areas they are crappie, others they are white perch and still others they are sacalait. I guess It takes a coona$$ to understand the irony LSUGuy.

i dont have any idea what your talkin about
or as to why you think this guy was lil off his rocker
but im glad somebody cleared that up
hahaha

I think people not knowing the real name of the fish they are going after is one of the most ironic things in fishing. In Missouri, I've never heard people call blue-gill "perch", but I've seen them call Green Sunfish perch quite often.

Now, when the serve "walleye" in restaurants, does anyone know what species it REALLY is?
