We here in San Diego catch these fish. California Sheephead. Imagine if this grabbed ahold of a mans body part ?.

Edit: the reason they have those teeth is because they eat crustaceans such as shrimp, which is what most people catch them on. The eat Mole Crabs, Smaller Fish, Squid, Clams, and etc. They take the food and use the back of their mouth to crack it open. Then they eat! Exactly like the sunfish called a Shellcracker/Redear Sunfish/Sun Perch.

Pretty much, only difference is is the shell cracker eats native freshwater crustaceans while the sheep head eats the salt water varients, well that and she'll crackers don't really have much for teeth like a sheephead does. Now don't quote me on this but I'm also pretty certain that fresh water crustaceans have weaker shells on average compaired to their salt water relatives so it would make sense on why the sheephead has those gnarly teeth while a shell cracker only has a few crushing plates.
