Sadly, an unfortunate ending to such a magnificent beast. Its hard to estimate the size from the pictures. How large would you estimate his size if he was whole?

Gills look fresh, bright red and not white. But looks like its starting to rot... very sad. Well, the 7 gills and Soupfin will be happy. BTW did this happen to be about 400 yrds off of the children's cove?

I blasted a dude under the Coronado bridge a few weeks back for gaffing a short WSB, a fish that easily could have been brought aboard for a measurement. The guy didn't even wait a second to swing the gaff when it came up to color

It looks more like a spear fishing wound, of even just a hole made from birds pecking it on the surface.... either way, it's still a direct result of some recreational fishermen being careless...

Childrens Cove has a Harbor Seal Rookery. Prime hunting area for adult whites and Makos.

I doubt a shark killed that BSB. The wound would look like it was inflicted by a chain saw if it was from a mako. Its a bit tough to see but it looks like there is an exit hole on the other side of the fish. Maybe a gaff or a spearfisher is the culprit. Mike
