Planted about 7 white crappie carcasses, 1 green sunfish carcass and the leftovers of a catfish in my garden around my broccoli, cucumbers, roses and a few perennials. I'll keep folks posted on how things go. Anyone had any experience with this?

Using crappie to grow cucumber and broccoli is a terrible waste of fish. Now if it were tomatoes and watermelon it might be worthwhile. I had a friend who did something similar with some small bream several years ago, with good effect.

Where I live that would be highly unlawful, waste of game fish. Use suckers or carp instead.
Many years ago I was playing in the garden and got "stung" by something sharp. I had to go to the Doc for treatment. It seems that pops had taken the carcasses of some bullheads and threw them in the garden and I got nailed by one of the "horns" several months later. While I doubt that would ever happen again who knows?

I fillet my pan fish and put the guts in the garden or the compost pile. I thinks that it helps.
Nitrogen source to go with all the carbon that comes from plants on the compost pile.
