Yes those ear stones (otoliths which all fish have) are quite large in sheephead. The Native Americans made necklaces out of them.

Otoliths are a very good way to age fish btw. Better than scales.

Collected a lot of those stones in my youth.  :)

I thought scales were for weighing fish.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Hey Trapper. They are getting a few in Salmon River already. Kings and Skamania. I know of a couple that were caught yesterday.
