Nice fish, but let me go ahead and do the honors......where's the pic of this huge sheepshead?? Sounds a lil "fishy" if you ask me ;D
 
I caught a sheepshead before that was about the same size as the redfish you have pictured. He was about 15-16 lbs. This was about 12 years ago fishing with my dad on the CHASSAHOWITZKA RIVER. We both thought I had one of those redfish that that area is so well known for, what a shocker when I got him landed and seen it was a redfish. No camera that day(my dad hardly ever had a camera with us), so you guys will probably think it's just another fish story like the monster JEWFISH my dad got that was around 5-600 lbs.
 
I thought you were kidding about jewfish,
so I googled and found this 700 lber
caught in 1975:

FGound this one too, looks like they had to resort to
a tow truck to pull it in:

The one my dad caught was 6' 2" long and a little over 7' in girth just behind the gill plates. There was 10" in between his eyes. He was a true monster. My dad winched him up in 130 feet of water with a PENN 6/0 SENATOR and a DAIWA graphite rod all on 80 lb ANDE line. He took a pair of channel locks to the grag and locked it down and used a 24" BLACK GROUPER for bait. He liked catching em for the fight, I like catching BARRACUDE for there speed.
 
Dont have a picture with the really big sheephead.but heres a picture of my friend Shad with his red and one of the sheephead. Also a picture of him with the Blue Angles in the back ground.

Did you guys ever see the the trophy Sheepshead I pulled in while fishing Sebastian Inlet with the Grand Puhbah :o
 
Sorry thought I had the pic but I guess Franco has it, can't find it.
He submitted it for IGFA light tackle records
 
Here I am with a little Chesapeake Bay Sheepshead. We dont catch any big ones around here.

A friend of mine caught a 20 lb 8oz. Shepshead last year, I think he still holds the state record. He caught it off the CBBT fishing pier.
