Crappie University wades into northeast Kansas community college

Whether you’re looking to catch more crappie or just fishing for some Continuing Education college credit, Johnson County Community College is offering a new $89 course that may be right up your alley.

The course is called “Crappie University” and it will meet once a week throughout February, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 in Overland Park. The classes run from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and will also meet Feb. 13, 20 and 27.

Crappie University was established in 2015 by Gary White, who also founded Bass Techniques and Bassmaster University, to help educate anglers across the country about crappie fishing.

“We did the Bassmaster University programs for about 25 years all over America,” White said. “Matter of fact, we’ve been in 130 colleges in the United States and Canada, including Johnson County. They were one of the very first places where we did the bass thing, years and years ago. So that’s what we’ve done with this new thing, we’ve really just kind of gone back to these colleges that did the bass thing.”
