My First Sheepshead

[HerringKing]

I was finally able to land a sheepshead. I've had a couple on over the past summers but they always break off on the structure. I got this one today at Townsends Inlet. 22 inches 8.6 pounds.

That is a huge Sheepshead :eek: :eek: Never even knew we had them here in NJ. Fished for them down in FL a few times. Great fighters and even better table fare.

They've been catching sheepshead for the past several years at Barnegat Inlet and the Rt. 72 Bridge over Barnegat Bay.

It was released. Put right in the live well and raced over to the bait shop. Weighed it, took pics and let her swim off,
