These aren't crappie but maybe some of you will enjoy seeing a couple a nice Kansas 'shellcrackers' aka redear sunfish that I found yesterday while sampling.

Have never seen them before. Are they in most Kansas lakes? I would probably confuse them with crappie.
Wow, those are very nice. Where abouts did you find those at? Do you regularly sample this size every year our did these just happen to be found? Would be fun to catch a few of these.
Wow very nice.
Wow!!! Hey Craig...... ol buddy ol pal............ :D
Were they full of Zebra mussels

If you were holding a redear in your hand, you could easily distinguish it from a crappie!
