🔥It's A MONSTER DUDE!! Vegas' GIANT Sheepshead🎣

In Part 1, Vegas Iaconelli caught his first-ever sheepshead—a moment we’ll never forget. But we weren’t done.

In Part 2 of this special Going Ike episode, the bite turns serious. Vegas stays locked in, the pilings are stacked, and suddenly… it happens.

He hooks into an absolute giant.
We’re talking a true South Jersey tank—a big, angry convict fish that tests everything he’s learned. The rod folds. The drag screams. And Vegas holds his own like he’s been doing it for years.

This isn’t just a fishing trip—it’s a passing of the torch. Watching him fight that fish, hearing the excitement in his voice… that’s what it’s all about.

🎣 Massive shoutout to Captain Dan Schafer of Insomniac Guide Service for guiding us through the madness.
