We like one syllable answers in Texas.
And on top of that, I can't keep up with all the sunfish species so rather than misidentifying something I just call them sunfish.
Like someone said earlier, relax folks, it's just a perch. lol.

Really. Ya'll didn't call Redears Chinqaupins, Sinkey? That's what they called em in N. Lousiana near the Arkansas border. Fouz, You're confused man. Chinqaupins is the xtra seasoning I have Crabbydaddy's in H-Town put on my crawfish!

Well that's what separates me from the rest out here. I refuse to adapt aka sell out. Ask anyone at Fork. I used to show up with the Mercedes Benz truck towing a legend boat, listening to the most hardcore NY hood music rolling up to the ramp and still cash checks at Tournaments. And the females... sheettt. Lets not even get into that, they are intrigued by the different guy. After all isn't that how I ended up on the TFF celeb list... haha
Not sure I would be bragging about the women around Lake Fork. But, you are a "yank".

If Dan would have posed that question to my grandma years ago she would have popped him in the kisser and beat him over the head with her "perch pole" (cane of course) for being so sassy.

Little man syndrome,is what I am thinking. LOL!!!! In general, it's polite to adapt to the environment you've entered.
If I'm in someones home and they want to call it a vaz, instead of a vase as I grew up calling it, I acclimate.

Calling all sunfish "perch" is just slang really. Just like Iaconelli calls all bass "giants". The one you have to watch out for is "deal". A "deal" could be anything down here.

Duh... I always thought a perch was something a bird clung to while resting.
