ADDITIONAL REMARKS:

This was an absolute Mammoth of a sheepshead. The mass of the body was one of the biggest I’ve seen in this size class. It had a big chunk missing out of his right gill. A true warrior. He was named in memory of Melissa’s dad Bruce. I hope The next angler that may come in contact with it release the fish. It had to be close to the 14lb range.
