All of the fish below are shellcrackers except the one in the upper right. That's a quarter for size comparison.
Could someone please tell me what a shellcracker is? I have seen alot of people talk about them on this site.Can you also tell me what they look like?

Are the ones on the left females, and the ones on the right males? That is the way it looks to me from the pic.Originally Posted by bluegilln

Yep, those are females on the left and a male on the right. That top right fish is just a bull gill. Those came from KY lake.
Spotted Sunfish I think is a Stumpknocker .
