In this video he is not only on the shell crackers but he gets a huge hybrid cross between a bluegill and shell cracker. I catch a lot of hybrid cross but this thing he catches at Lake Havasu is a freak of nature.

Wow is an understatement
That's a freak...that fish must be 8-10 inches tall!
Biggest I have ever seen for sure! Congratulations
Massive fish! If it didn’t take me at least 3 days to drive there, dragging a boat to fish for a few days and 3 days back, I’d leave tomorrow!
That’s crazy.

Are they generically engineered, fed steroids, or selectively bred like farm/ranch whitetails? Doesn't seem possible to be that far from the norm without some "assistance".

Those are huge fish. To far for an old crippled up man to drive. I would love to fish that lake for sure.
