[Dwayne Denison]

Are pumpkinseeds and shell crackers one in same or different? I thought I knew bream till I got on here, Now I am confused....Thanks Dwayne

 

Could someone post pics of all the memebers of bream?

Shellcrackers are Redear Sunfish, not Pumpkinseeds.  Here's a nice thread with pictures and descriptions of common sunfish - http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Numb...

Got a book yesterday, has all the sunfish in it. I did not know there where so many. Book says so much cross breeding going on, getting harder to tell.
