Monster Sheepshead!

[jetskibrian]

Well to me it is a monster, I caught my personal best Sheepshead today. Almost made it to fourteen pounds. It weighed in at Wilcox Bait & Tackle tonight at 13 pounds 12 ounces. I caught him in the lower Chesapeake Bay with an Atlas reel spooled with braid, a mono leader and a 4/0 J hook with a live fiddler crab for bait. I barely felt the bite but I sure did feel the pull when I set the hook. It was a blast catching it from my jet ski. I also caught one around 7 lbs and a couple of Tautog. Here are a couple pictures of my Virginia Sheepshead citation. Ten lbs is a citation.

That's one hell of a grill on that sheep. Great fish, congrats!

Sheepshead teeth get me every time. Yikes!

Nice catch!

Your adventures on a jet ski and your pics are awesome.
I'm thinking about getting one and running 12-14 miles off the beach.
The vision is of me dragging a 300 # THRESHER TO THE SCALES.
Thats the vision. Just not sure I have the Cajones for it.
Would I need extra fuel ?
