Kentucky keeps crappie spelling while West Virginia and Ohio weigh in
West Virginia Governor Hulett C. Smith and Ohio wildlife chief Daniel Armbruster defend the spelling of crappie against Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources Director Minor Clark. Clark says Kentucky changed the name to reflect pronunciation and tourism value. Smith touts WV crappie waters but notes fewer crappie in WV fishing programs compared to golden trout and musky. Armbruster argues crappie in Ohio and Kentucky are equally large and tasty, while Clark stays firm on the name change and potential cross state pride.
