The rivers around here rose with the week of rain we had, but I managed to cull enough for a meal Saturday. Caught these in N lake with crickets. The Sacalait were exactly 9" long.

Nice fish BigMark, it looks as though you took good care of them with the ice. Better on the table then.

I buy the crickets and keep what I don't use for next time. I built a cricket paradise to fatten them up in. it also toughens them when you feed them for a week or two.

I can not verify anything after further research, but the best I found "From Choctaw sakli (“trout”), via Cajun French, which reinterpreted it as sac (“sack”) (à (“of”)) lait (“milk”)". The reference is to white crappie. Another possibility is "An old story says that when the cork went under the old Cajuns said, "Ca a calle" which means "It sank.
At any rate, I personally like the sound of it over crappie, especially when said by true Cajuns.

Right Down my alley! nothing better than a cane pole for some things I remember learning how to "Doodle" with a big cane pole, 3-4 feet of line, and a big Lucky 13 or Devils Horse on the Pearl above Ross Barnett in the Cyprus (dead lakes, oxbows) For Big Largemouth! Biggest Bowfin I ever saw was caught like that...
