Loved the video. But there was one point in the video where you said "You definitely don't want to put your thumb in his mouth". believe it or not, a sheephead will never close it's mouth on you one you have it up on the surface. I've caught hundreds of them, and have yet to see one of them do anything other than keep their mouth agape once they're over the rail of the boat- even when sticking pliers down their throat to remove hooks. It's really weird. Like they're mouth is stuck in some sort of rigor mortis state.
