Trophy Savannah River Shellcracker
Throughout late summer and early fall, the larger shellcrackers move into several ox-bows off the upper Savannah River to feed and spawn.

Running out the door but wanted to add a comment to my 'friend request'. I'm an outdoor writer from the Chicago area and the shellcrakcers you are catching are insane.
