Crappie have an odd size to them that will make them difficult to be controlled by HSB due to the smaller mouth of HSB. I don't know for sure, but I think I recall hearing that HSB are no-go in CA.

I also question how big a black crappie has to be before it's worth the efforts of filleting.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
