In Crazy for Crappies, middle school host, Kevin, is joined by his aunt and a local fishing guide as the trio set out in search of some slab specks. Along the way they discuss finding ideal crappie habitat, life cycle, feeding preferences, specific fishing techniques and catch and release practices while also touching on the importance of sustainable and ethical fishing, ecology, and being a good caretaker for planet earth. The episode concludes with an old-fashioned lakeside fish fry.
