So many know, that the red ear sunfish, aka the shellcracker, is among my favorite of all the freshwater fish to pursue. Brown trout rank highly as well, but there is something special about shellcrackers when they group up in the spring. They live much of the year roaming, and being somewhat reclusive. A few times of year, however, they will gang up with their buddies and make for some special treats for panfish anglers.
