Default My First Sheepshead

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 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.

Congrats!
