Heck, you can even freeze them whole in water and thaw for filleting later if you don't have time when you get home, or if you need to wait till the wife is gone so that she wan't know you clean them in the kitchen and grind up the heads in the disposal!!

Well, crappie! Lol. I didn't know about putting them into water .....
I just took them out of the bucket and they still had a little life left in them, I put them whole in the freezer, sealed up in a zip lock bag. I was going to clean them today....guess now I have to throw em in the dumpster outside? I hate that because they are nice sizes! They are in my photo album. Me and my kids caught them yesterday off the local Peir. Do you guys think it's ok to clean them and fry them up??

They should be fine. You caught them yesterday and froze them overnight? They would have been fine in the fridge or on ice too.

ditto!
