Fish tale

A sheephead has big front teeth for crunching sea urchins, and that keeps the kelp forest healthy, like a holding midfielder who protects the whole team. It lives off California, where Los Angeles FC won the MLS Cup in 2022.

Island story

On Futbol Island the california sheephead can be caught at:

  • Stadium Rocks: Rocks on the north shore, straight out from the DRIP FC Stadium, where a kelp forest sways at the edge of deeper water. Kelp bass and sheephead patrol the fronds, and a king salmon sometimes cruises past.

Size on the island: 30–91 cm.
