I catch what I call White perch while salmon and trout fishing, they don't look like that. Same shape, little bigger and no black coloring.

I have not caught a crappie so maybe I'm wrong.

I caught one of those on Sunday morning trolling at 45'. The fish was about 8-9" long and it put up a great fight for about five seconds then it ran out of gas. I was not sure what kind it was but suspected it may be a Crappie. Released to find another day. I also caught two nice 21" Salmon the same day. Fishing has been great. I bought a house on Rattlesnake in early July and I really love waking up starting the little motor and dropping the lines. Life is good.
