Not ba-a-a-ad!!

Thats a trophy catch, they got some mad looking teeth though.

Absolutely awesome! Still have yet to catch one of these guys!

Awesome write up and video.

Get your dive suit if you want to catch them. 

Sorry in advance for the threadjack Jim, but I gotta see what people's opinion is on this: It seems that you divers shoot them pretty consistently from Carmel to Big Sur, so they are obviously there in decent numbers. I have yet to hear of someone catching one hook and line in that area. What gives??!! I've gone as far as to bring food grade scallops to a hookup and used them for bait all day hoping for a sheep...didn't catch a sheep but caught some serious flack from the scummies in the process Has anyone caught one in this area? I want one

I caught one on an anchovie in Dana Point, only one I have caught. But you are right, it seems that one should be able to hook one, especially if a guy like BigJim can stick one....just sayin. 

Wow, nice goat!  How deep was he?  How did you get the jaws so clean?  Boil them?
