Fishing for Hard Fighting California Sheephead off the Coast of San Diego!

- I was lucky enough to get back out to Southern California to fish with the one and only Glenn from @sandog Kayak Adventures! We set out for the kelp beds on this trip in search of California Sheephead, one of the most sought after coastal fish in the Pacific (it's said to taste like lobster!). Not to be confused with our East Coast "sheepshead", the California Sheephead is aggressive, can grow over 30lbs, are hemaphroditic (they change from female to male throughout their life), and are bright red and black! These are really cool and interesting fish and I had an absolute blast targeting them.
We caught our limits multiple times over using some funky, alien looking shrimp known as Ghost Shrimp for bait! Thanks once again to Glenn for taking me out and thank you for watching the video and supporting the channel.

Great fishing with you again bro! Juat say when and well go get a white sea bass or yellowtail 🤘🤘🤘
I'd love to my man! I'll keep an eye on flight prices haha
Man that looked fun. Them sheep teeth look alittle more knarly than ours! Lol
Haha definitely a little crazier than ours! They also hammer the baits. No nibbles with them!
Wow that was cool! California sheephead is a wrasse so I think it would be more comparable in taste to tautog or tilefish found along the Atlantic coast. Eastern sheepshead are porgy... Fine work sir!
East coast tactics on the west coast and youre absolutely whooping those sheepshead on top of it. Gotta love it 🔥
Thanks! I know it was pretty cool to see how effective the knocker rig was over on the West Coast. Thanks for watching dude, hope you've been getting out and fishing this spring!
Man didn't get notified on this one those beautiful fish would love to catch one great catch man
Another great trip to the west coast. Good for you!
Thanks Keith! It was a great time for sure
Man, dude them fish, kinda look like male peacock bass only different color and gnarly teeth. Awesome video bro.
I’m dying to try those! I have no sheepshead in my area and it’s hard to get to an area without a wheelchair at this point
Cant wait to see if you think they really taste like lobster! Amazing the difference between the sheepshead and very interesting species! Have a great time!!😁👍
I can tell you right now they tasted VERY much like spiny lobster and similar shellfish. I'm ashamed to admit that it tasted much better than our East Coast sheepshead...
Knocker rig for the win!
You know it my man!
Thats where I grew up fishing
They taste sweet too
Christian! That's some cool-looking Sheepshead. Do they grow as large as your Charleton's best PB? How about a taste comparison? Are they similar, as good, or better? Let us know! Thanks for the video!
Hey Clint! They actually grow much bigger than our sheepshead on the east coast. The record is over 30 lbs and they're estimated to get bigger... as for taste it was hard to admit but they definitely taste better. I didn't make a catch and cook because I had to get back to the real point of the weekend which was my brother's bachelor party! Haha
@@MakeTimeForFishing Nice ☺️ thanks for the information and congratulations to your brother and his wife 😄
This is different from our "Sheepshead" in the East Coast! LOL
No kidding! Really cool and unique fish
Those look like blackfish (tautog) teeth
