Black Sea Bass?
(Note: We know how to handle these fish responsibly. Each fish remained in the water, never touched the boat, was handled with gloves and was released under their own power with no injuries within minutes of seeing color) |

Were they all the same size? It could be the same fish biting over and over again.

Black Seabass
I catch blacks all the time around sd waters from my pa. Good fights even down to the 20lb ones with cool spots although when you are looking for a good white, hali or yt, it is kind of like getting a 2nd place trophy. They average 20-70lbs I still want to hook on a 300+ lb monster someday.

Scuba divers often report "schools" of BSB hanging around wrecks and structure. I don't think it's uncommon for them to aggregate in a favorable spot, which could lead to you catching a few in a short time span.

I’ve caught quite a few on the kayak. La Jolla and around OB pier. One trip out of mission bay I caught 3 on consecutive baits. All over 50lbs. I think their resurgence is strong.

Seems like as good a time as any to remind everyone about the importance of bringing a descender that can be used with a BSB.

You are allowed to keep two per day just 25 miles below La Jolla.
