Shellcracker Fishing catching Huge Monster Slabs 

Kurtis I loved this video. Fishing has always been an enjoyment for me. Nothing like sitting there pulling slab after slab in. I can no longer go because of my health but this video brought back some very good memories. Thank you.

Reminds me of my grandmother. Boy she could flat put a hurtin on some bluegill with a cane pole. Only times I ever enjoyed getting out fished. Takes me back to simpler days. :)

good morning, exactly where are you fishing at in florida? are you in the everglades?

When some one ask me where did I catch my fish..i say in the mouth

OMG... those things are huge... love your video...

my grandaddy die but he favorite fish to fish for was shellcracker, brings back memories for me as a kid, thanks kurtis

Slaying them in the pads. You prefer grass shrimp over live worms?

Do your thing Bro...

Great video. Had to like and subscribe. One of the most delicious fish a man could catch. Great Video...Thanks for sharing !!

There are like a thousand people asking, "where are you fishing?." You do realize he will never tell you. I would never tell you where my fishing spots are.

Fantastic...this is my main focus in fishing. Shellcrackers. line zingers...lol Great vid my man!

Great video. If you were going to use plastic what would it be?

Hey Nice Fish!!! I grew up fishing Lake Pan there in central Florida on spring break when I was in school. I will be down there april 4-11 and hope to get into some shellcracker. You're videos are nice, take me back to my fishin days down there. Peace man, good luck fishing and hope to see you on the water sometime, I'll probably come ask for your autograph!!

Kurtis, what do you use for bait? I have looked at most of your videos and I cant find one? Are you using worms? Ar eyou free-lining your baits as well or do you use a split-shot on them? Thank and I really enjoy your videos..

Like your umbrella shade idea! Might have to copy that! That shade sure beats the sun all day! The amount of shade time has a direct relationship to fish caught!

That's what I'm talking about, them dinner plate size breams. I catch them big like that in Nashville. I fish on the St Johns river in Sanford when I visit my daughter,

Man oh man!!! That was some of the best fishing action I've seen in a long time!

You and your dad are totally awesome! Great fishermen!

Hey can I catch a fishing trip?

your actually supposed to sit in the seat not on top of it

Cane Pole fishing! Grandma’nem style

Where are you located? And how do you cook those sunfish? They are huge !

Huge slabs!

I knew Florida had some spots, but not like that! Haven't been able to fish good in a few years, and I got the itch bad. This video don't help none.

Awesome video of some NICE shell crackers! Believe it or not. This video, even more than bass fishing videos, makes me miss my bass boat terribly. I had no choice but to sell it to save our home during the recession. I bought it new in '04 and paid it off in 18 months........and damned if I still didn't have to lose it. I've got to get another boat. I just can't afford a new one like before. I love your videos. Thanks for posting them.

20-25 years ago when my husband and I were fishing they didn't have this kind of tackle for panfish. I wish he were alive to see this.

we have stockers in Il. up to 2lbs great fun and fillets. nice spot.

now this is my type of fishing, only thing missing is a beer and a blunt

what where yall using as bait

omw to FL next Month were can I find gills

BROTHERMAN: The hands of a true fisherman...Keep coming... Excellent Show and Tell.. Now get some music going for the souls next time..!....

Nice fishes! I wish we had that kind of fishing in California.

Great fishing. Thank ya'll for sharing. Blessings !

Good lord

Aweee man, reminding me of the good ole days using the cane pole, those are some of the biggest shellcrakers ive ever seen. Tight lines

I don't know if they make a frying pan that big wow! (BiggCoffee OutDoors Magazine)

Do yall see the old man in the clouds laying on his back right under the umbrella around 14:27

Damn you's keepin sun fish to eat.

Charles Howell sent me.... Man oh man, that is my kind of fishing!!

Mr. Mays, you are on some great fishing with this video. I like the long poles as well when the fish are on the beds, saves time, gets your bait were the fish are and hauls em' right out. good job sir. Al

I wish we had huge slabs like that up here in Minnesota. also, is that a b'n'm pole?

Nice fish. What state are you fishing.

BOY THEM SOME SLABS . GREAT VIDEO HOMIE .....

Hook a Brutha up.. Nice Slabs .

BOY THEM SOME SLABS . GREAT VIDEO HOMIE .....

dude I fish lake Marion and Lake Hatchineha... What month you start in the lilies plese? ... Going in 1 hour going to use grass shrimp and ckrickets

Nice size shellcrackers man. gotta love fishin them lilly pads...

Brother that what I'm talking about.Say in deed. Pieces off mine...

Jealous is all I can say from up north ... Those would b hog crappie where I am ... If I catch a few 12" crappie in a day I'm happy we don't have 2lb panfish like that

I’d like to build your umbrella stands, myself. Do you ever share your plans for those?

That is not a warmouth

Ive been hitting Lake Griffin hard with my daughters, age 5 and 7. We have been striking out a lot lately and they are getting discouraged...can you give me some pointers on where to go for some panfish catching action? I think they have lost faith in my fish finder abilities =/ I normally launch up at pine island fish camp.

Them was some slabs for sho. Y'all did pretty good in that thick cover. Way to get after em!!!

what did y'all use to catch them with.

I haven't seen sunfish like these since I lived in the south. WOW!!! It has been wayyyyyyy too many years! You guys rock! I wish I lived in FLA.......I'd love to fish with you! Just make more videos!

Just getting into freshwater down here. Moved down from New York about a year ago and have been doing nothing but saltwater. What is the best time for the shellcrackers and big bluegills? I fish the St. John's near lake woodruff. Thanks and great video.

nice! Where you catching them slabs! Can't be Florida...

if kurtis is the one fishing, how many kids you got boss

Well its March 2018 and hope you're doing good. You OK? What's up?

not to be mean and im not but y are u using a monster rod on little blugills

I don't have a boat so I will never make it there but what are you using. Oh and can I buy some?

Kurtis, I'd love to see another shellcracker video up to date...see you catch them "ShellyBellies"

These are some of the biggest Bluegills I've seen!, gotta do a pan fry vid!..

Hey man what lake is this? I live in South Ga. Are there any good lakes in N. Florida closer to me?

I get sick watching stuff like grew up in the south live now in L.A there's nothing out here 2 compate with fishing in the south

What's the limit??

That makes a lot of sense. In fact, I went fishing today, and now that I think about it, a longer rod would have been useful. I like this video and your others, so I'm gonna subscribe.

What size and brand are your poles? Damn, wish I was there with you on that boat....Nice mess!!
