Thank you Shorty.
That is a good chart that I had not seen. My problem, having not been a dedicated angler all my life and not fished that much, is I have a poor frame of reference for comparisons. I just have not seen that many gill rakers, so I did quite a number of Internet searches trying to come up with BCP and RES gill pictures and came up empty handed. Quite a few of really good ones on BG, but nothing on crappie.
My fish gill rakers looked "short" to me, but I had no frame of reference to compare them to.
