We always used the term sheephead, so that is, of course, correct. One time when I was 9 or 10, I got to go with Dad to a FELCO gathering at one of the resorts on West Lake. During the day, there were meetings for the men and the families (Mom had to stay home to go to summer school) ran free. One kid was fishing with a handline for bluegills down through the slats of the boat ramps. The bluegills would come right up between the slats. The big, old sheephead that came out of the depths to bite didn't fit. Can't remember how it got resolved. Another kid pulled off an impressive feat when a bullhead came up to hover with his mouth just breaking the surface. From a distance of about ten feet, the kid stunned it with a well-pitched rock.
