Not a goo Randy, it is a sheepshead. They are good to eat, if you have ever been in a restaurant and saw "Bay Snapper" on the menu, it is a sheepshead.

Makes me wish I lived at the bottom of the boot.

Great Report Gene

Too cool!

Keep 'em straight Dwayne. Randy I should have taken a picture when I landed it. It was beautifully marked with dark vertical bars on a silvery white background. It all faded to white by the end of the trip. Sure was a fight on my jig pole. Shortly after landing the fish and right before I landed the flounder, I pulled some line of my Solo reel and it just parted in my hand like it had been cut while of the reel. That was lucky for me and not for the fish. I retied and put on a fresh Crappie Slider by Charlie Brewer. That pack of bait was a give-me from Slab and company when I ordered my hat pins. Thanks Slab and company for the extras. I also caught all the other fish that day with the same bait.

They have funny teeth also.Kinda like sheep. I caught many in the marsh. Us walmart shoppers know such things. And I have caught speckled trout, red fish, flounders,bass and goggle eye on the same lure in a day at Pointe Au Chene.

"D", my Dad used to call sheephead "Jimmy Carters" because of the teeth. For some reason those teeth made him think of Carter. He did not like Carter but loved Clinton.

Nice catch PPG. Like a box of chocolates huh
