thanks 2 dog.. i am doing a research projoect on the sheap head, an in al lthe resarch i got they have ben known at sheapheads all there lives, they have been in the lake for quit sum time an no one call's them fresh water drums any longer, an many many ppl regrete catching them. the funny thing about them are they are sortta like salmon, now this does not happen to all sheaphead just about 40% after spawning they die, we just took one out of north east marina last week. it was a 14 lb sheap head STILL alive just hovvering at the serface, after running sum test on him, found out that they can live to be 20years old, an the one we got had a HUGE gwroth spot under need it, very ugly an nasty to look at, any ways foudn out that the sheap head have been eatign the muscles an small gobies at the bottom of the lake, u dont c or hear much of people catchn lots of sheap heads like they did back in the 1990's because ever since the gobbies arived they have been eating the eggs of every fish out there, well finally the sheapheads, walleyes an most of the big game fish are eating the gobbies instead of the smelts, the bass LOVE the gobbie. but thanks for ur help ill keep looking
