I am from Minnesota- (originally) concur that they are sheepshead. dont know why. lolDrum eats good. Had some tonight we caught in Minnesota this summer.
Years ago wife and I were on Grand lake throwing rattle traps into the rocks, only catching drum. Told her they were good to eat, but she turned up her nose saying they look like a carp.
When we brought them back to camp this summer already cleaned, called them sheepshead. Everybody enjoyed the filets. Good white flaky meat.
