I'm jealous. Wish I was close to some salt water but then I'd probably get fired from work because I'd just want to fish and then would have to sell my egg and everything else I owned....Dyersburg, TN

I thought this was a sheepshead?
My 6 yr old daughter (the redhead) caught this up in northern Michigan this summer . It was her first fish she ever caught! I don't fish but my brother does and he called this a sheepshead.

That's what we call sheepshead up here. I've gone fishing with my buddy who lives in Wisconsin for them.

It is deep and compressed in body shape, with five or six dark bars on the side of the body over a gray background. Wikipedia

It seems as if there are a few different fish called sheepshead.

Sheepshead is what we caught...I call them Jetty Snapper for slang. They're caught on fiddler crabs, and reach 5-8lbs regularly in our area. Sometimes up to 13+..They are excellent table fare, and I love catching them.

I grew up in FL and we fished for sheepshead around the pilings on bridges and piers. They come up from under the bait, crush the fiddler crab with those teeth, and suck out the meat. Most times you don't even feel it. My dad always told me I had to set the hook before they bite.Someone had a nice touch to put those in the cooler!
