Redear Sunfish

    Redear sunfish are commonly
    called shellcracker in the south.  
    They are bigger than other sunfish,
    averaging 7 to 10 inches in length
    with many fish in the 1 to 2 pound range in the south.  
    They have a distinct red coloring around its ear flap.  
    Redears feed on snails, insects, and small bait fish.  

    They have a special set teeth in their throat that allows them to grind up snail shells.  Redear can be harder to find because they prefer deeper water
    than other sunfish.
