I've been eating crab since I was real little but I'm ashamed to admit I'd never had soft-shell until this year. Can't get enough now.

"Panfish" is just a broad term for any kind of fish that doesn't typically grow bigger than a frying pan, or sometimes just any fish that is most commonly pan-fried. Around here we've got some places with choice bluegill, crappie, redear, yellow perch and the sort. White perch when they're running. Et cetera. A lot fish that fall under the category of freshwater "sunfish" (largemouth, crappie, blugill, redear, pumpkinseed, rock bass) are really feisty and great for sport-fishing too.

I've fished a few places in the tri-state area and some lakes up in PA where I've pulled out crappie close to the size of a standard sheet of paper.
