Aren't redear sunfish called shellcracker's in the South. They get big, I mean up to 3-4 lbs and are one of the biggest of the 'round' sunfish ( LMB & SMB are true sunfish, not bass). I would bet that some punkinseed fry were mixed in with the channel cat fry that DWR got from the feds and got stocked with em !! Not aware that they are stocking them !! Need to ask Drew about em ??
