I read that there are freshwater sheepheads and those have the stripes?

Well the one I was talking about was for slatwater. Reasoning being that i know is that when I went deep sea fishing. I caught 4 of these and I found out that the males have stripes and females dont, and I was fishing off of Catalina.

Asian sheepshead wrasse, Semicossyphus reticulatus.

We can conclude that their part of the wrasse family. Didnt know that their were an asian version.
