Unhappy a sheepshead story

i was fishing down in Sarasota florida one day off of a wall and the water was 8 feet deep and crystal clear. The sheepshead were huge there but extremely wary and smart. they would swim right around a bait if they saw a hook. So i threw out 8 shrimp in a straight line or trail since i could see so well and had my second to last shrimp with my hook in it. Sure enough i watched this huge sheepshead come along and one by one gobble down each shrimp in my bait trail until he got to my hook and line and i managed to catch him. They're reported to be excellent eating so i filleted him and put him in the freezer. The next day i took him out to thaw and my cat got interested in the sheepshead fillet and knocked it off the kitchen counter where she and the dog ate it.
