Katman Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Minnesota record was 36in....this one was 35in. We didn't get to throw it on a scale but we're thinking somewhere between 30lbs. When it came out of the water...we were like WHAT THE?????...is that a grouper in the minnesota river? He's going to frame this guy. I don't think I'll ever see another sheephead this big again.

Katman Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 hahaha...that's not me. It was my fishing buddie that caught it. We were using cut shad, going for cats. It was a fun day yesterday. Lots of nice cats coming out of that area. But they were quite skinny...I guess due to starvation from spawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARK30 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I caught one of those big sheeps up on the Otter Tail river a few years back. It smacked a 2" shad rap and ran like the dickens in shallow water...One of the best fights I can remember! Ended up being 29". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Nice Katman.....we got a big one last month and I'm sure you were thinking the same thing we were Flathead......

Katman Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 depends on the action. 12 is usually my hour to round everything up to see if its worth staying a bit longer.
