A Minnesota angler wasn’t sure what to think after reeling through the ice a brightly colored fish that resembled a crappie in shape only.
“I thought maybe it was a sunfish due to the color, but after I got it out of the hole I thought it had the body of a crappie,” Rick Konakowitz, 60, told FTW Outdoors. “I was a little perplexed.”
Common crappie are speckled, greenish-colored panfish targeted by anglers across the United States.
