Published: , in Outdoor News
A Somerset County, Maryland, resident has officially been recognized by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for a new state fishing record in the Chesapeake Bay Division for sheepshead.
Brian Summerlin, of Princess Anne, caught the 16.6-pound fish Sept. 17 in Tangier Sound off Crisfield in about 15 feet of water. Summerlin was targeting sheepshead using a soft crab rigged on a sliding sinker “fish-finder rig” with an 8/0 circle hook, and a spinning rod with 60-pound braid and a 60-pound fluorocarbon leader.
