Sheepshead are freshwater drum. They have about a million names. Silver Drum, Silver Bass, Gaspergou. Sheepshead is what I've always heard them called. On Lake Erie you can catch them regularly up to 20-25 lbs, I think the record is 45ish. They bite on almost anything, both live and hardware.

Most folks I know consider them trash fish and will have nothing to do with them.
