Juvi BSB. BSB are getting more common and every angler needs to know what they are and what they look like in all their life stages. In the ocean but I've caught several in SD bay as far back as the bay bridge.

We have 5 species of marine fish in Cali that you can not take, ever. Garabaldi, white shark, gulf and broom tail grouper, and BSB. Mike
