And no, I don't really care if the crappie caught are "fillet-able" or not. My dad would eat a crappie 3" long if you gave it to him. We routinely clean BG by simply beheading, scaling, and gutting. I don't think my dad would mind giving smaller crappie the same treatment in the least little bit...
I've tried to convert him to other fish for eating, other than just 'gills and crappie. Doesn't seem to work. I mentioned "tilapia" to him the other day, and he just replied, "that's what I drive, a jalopy." I somehow believe he could eat every crappie in a 1000 acre lake in a few days if given half the chance...
