California sheephead

Fish on sheep sheep. Tight lines. Thanks the Mother Nature. Sheep tasted so good. Happy able to go fishing before the storm. Be safe out there.

3 small sheepshead and some opaleye, not too bad, a fish is a fish

Look at the teeth on this bad boy!!

First catch. New to this 😅 it had teeth and didn’t know how to properly hold it🤣

From the catch to the table. Thanks the ocean. This one was being caught and cooked by Kent. Awesome job. Thanks the ocean and its blessings. Tight lines.

🐡🐑 The California Sheephead (not sheepshead as a common local mis-nomer) are trans-gender fish that can transition from a reproductively functional female to a functional male during the course of a lifespan in response to social factors like the alpha male of the school getting killed. Consuming primarily lobster, other shellfish and mollusks, they are some of the most palletable and sweet table fare with a maximum lifespan of 53 years 🐠 #sheephead #california #tightlines
