Sheepshead
Since this is in my avatar, I figure I'd better post it. This is a huge Sheepshead, I caught from the jetty at Redfish Pass on Captiva.
This Sheepie was just shy of 21 inches and took a pass crab on an Owner 2/0 circle hook that was meant for a big Black Drum. I've caught Sheepies as long before, but this one was thick in width and depth. It is definitely the heaviest, I've ever caught.

Those 7- striped sheepshead are SnookMook
Nice one too
Here's a recent one (6 stripes) I caught from the Dauphin Island Pier (Alabama) back in Jan 07. My best, so far this year...
6# 11 oz (23" TL) sheepshead caught on a live shrimp fished on bottom with a Carolina style rig,
1/2 ounce egg weight 2 feet of 8# clear mono with a #6 bronze Eagle Claw All Purpose singlehook.
Used my 7 foot custom wrap Seeker LB 704 and a (20 yr old) Shakespear 040 Spinning reel with 8# mono.

Nice load of sheepies there.
I'm heading back down to Captiva for vacation at the end of the week. I'm hoping to load up on them like I always do down there.
