<p>Mike Sattler, of Cazenovia, holds up a nice-sized sheepshead he caught recently on Oneida Lake.</p>

<p>He wrote me: "Last night, I had to take a break from catching walleye to haul in this monster sheephead.</p>

<p>"There was a nice northeast chop and he hit a perch sonar in 18 foot of water near buoy 125. I estimate he weighed about 20 pounds."</p>

Nice fish, it's weird they make a noise while out of the water sort of like a burp I guess.
