My biggest fish EVER on a ultralight!!
This is a sheepshead or freshwater drum. I have been targeting them lately and, they are fun! Last night I decided to try and get one of these leviathans on the ultralight. Bang! Mission accomplished!

I'm assuming you catch them on the bottom. I've heard of them, never seen one.
What rig/method?
Bait?
What was the lines test vs. fish weight?
I love the "H=ll yeah!!" facial expression! Stoked!

David, The rig used was a custom made Lindy Rig. A flourocarbon leader (6lb) with 3 beads and a spinner blade tied above the hook. The bait was a large leech and the mainline was 4lb mono. The fish was estimated at 15lbs!
