We got to hit Lake Erie yesterday for the first time of the year. This was one of two sheephead my dad caught, while I caught 6. Might still be a little early for the waters we fish. We managed 12 yellow perch, 3 white perch, 8 sheephead, and 1 white bass in about 4 1/2 hours on the water. Minutes before this fish I had one at the boat a little bigger than this. All he needed was one miss by the net and he took off and pulled the hook. It was a fun day nonetheless.

Thanks guys. This fish gave Dad a pretty nice fight. We've never tried eating one, Jim. I've heard from some people the smaller ones can be good when smoked, though.
Nice fish Adam.......
Wow! Great effort on a 'back burner' specie that deserves much more credit and ink!
I heard that sheepshead are not bad eating...confirmation?
