Re: Fat Goat

Nice fish.
He's actually a pretty young fish, the fins show little distress, and he was not filled out.
35" is close to max length for sheephead. I have several fish between 25-29lb. Max length on them??? 35-36.5"

Should be very good eating, and the meat should be less gristly than an older fish. Enjoy!!

Re: Fat Goat

Nice fish.

I can see your elbow in that first shot. Looks way bigger than 23. You must be short
