Record shell cracker

[Locksley]

I'm just learning all kinds of stuff on this thread. I'm glad I asked but sorry about the hijack.

I was about to ask what a fluke is but I figured it out. A fluke is when I actually catch a fish.

LOL

In many parts of TN they are called black perch or rock bass. They are also known widely as goggleye. Not a good picture but this is one that hit a fluke.

I have no idea what you are calling a "green". A warmouth looks like a small version of a bass. It has a big mouth as shown in the picture I posted. Perhaps where you live, it is called a green. Short, stumpy and colored somewhat like a blugill but adrker and with a big mouth.

A green sunfish is different than a warmouth, honestly they look similar but there is a different coloration

Shellcracker on the bed at Santee Cooper in South Carolina is a blast. They were the smallmouth of the panfish family for us. They put up a lot better fight than any other panfish you caught.

they're not good rod and reel bait as they live under rocks and will hang you up every time.
