What is a Shell Cracker? Are they on Kentucky Lake?

[SmallmouthChaserGLX]

Shellcracker is just an acronym. The name is redear sunfish but some call them shellcrackers, redear... so on so forth. Bigger redear are not necessarily called shellcrackers more than little ones are. Its much like pumpkinseed and sungranny other than a designation of size.
