Sun fish
Been fishing for 20 some years and I seen a sun sunfish in person easily 200lbs 5' x5'. From my research they get up to 1150lbs. Seen it off the coast jus south of San onafri (spelling)
Anyone ever seen or caught on here? |

My cousin caught a little one once, maybe 5lbs, off of the Redondo Special on squid.

mola mola
The ocean sunfish, AKA mola-mola are large, have skin like leather, but are plankton eaters. You could snag one, but why? They are pretty cool to see though as they look like the front half of an even larger fish. Slow, harmless sun bathers.

Saw a big one over summer in dp. It was really interested in the sabiki. I peddled away and continued with getting skunked.

Don't try and catch or harass one. Very bad juju.

I see them all of the time off shore in the summer months! When youre looking for paddies and you see a giant white thing just under the surface or you see their dorsal fins sticking just out of the water as they turn over and relax enjoying the sun! Those things are pretty awesome and +1 that they are plankton eaters...

Dove with a few a couple years ago during some sloooooow spearfishing. The weirdest thing is how fast they can move through the water without making any apparent effort whatsoever. They're cool
