bub...
Shellcrackers are a fresh water fish like a bluegill on steroids.  some call them Redear. where Bluegill have the black spot....redear or shellcracker have a black and red spot. it looks like a big eye when they flair  their gills which makes them look like a lot bigger fish than they are when looking at them from the front.  They also have crushers in the back of there throut to eat snails and mussels. hence the name shellcrckers.....

Why would anyone want to call a" sweet on the tounge"  fish like that Crappie. :-M
I thought a shellcracker was Mullet knapping coral.  >:D

That looks like some great fishing Dbar. Pertty hard to beat two weeks of good fishing at your favorite out of the way hole. I like eating any fish, even the ones that tastes " fishy". Not sure how I'd feel if they taste like chicken. I'd probably still like em. Frog legs kinda taste like chicken and a bit like fish to and I can't eat enough of them. Really cool your wife likes fishing to.

Nice haul, Bill. we're still waiting for the Bluegill and Shellcrackers to go on bed here. I'm with you, Zuma, can't call them Crappies either, I'd catch hell down here. )F(

Real nice catch - the fish look nice, too!  Glad to hear the lady likes to fish and hunt(?).  The Little Fiddle Woman has convinced me to take her out next weekend to Lake McConaghy in Nebraska to wet a line.  Sure wish she wouldn't twist my arm so hard >:D!  She hunts pretty darn good, too.  In fact I think she is ahead do me in making meat!  You definitely got a keeper there!
