Fun video! Thought I’d offer some identification tips since you mentioned you’re not sure in the video. The first few perch are definitely Walleye Surfpech. Scientific Name: (Hyperprosopon argenteum) if you’re curious. Walleye surfperch are easy to identify by their deep bodies despite them being relatively thin. They have faint dark vertical bars and have dark black tips on their pectoral fins. They can be confused with Silversurf perch [a close relative in the same genus] Silver surfperch can be differentiated with the lack of black-tips on the pectoral fin. The 7th & last perch you caught were likely White Seaperch (Phanerodon furcatus) though I am not 100%. I know this is 10 months old but prayers to your Son. Some of my fondest memories in life are those fishing with my own Father. Tight lines.
I'm praying for your son and hope he's doing well.
Old East bay fisherman, here. Hope your kid is ok. Just subbed. #100! What do I win?

Thank you
I think the max hook you can have on a Sabiki rig is THREE inside the bay.
Q: What size weight is good for the pier?
3 or ,4 oz weight, 30 lb test line or more
Prayers to your Son 🙏
Thank you!
Hope your son is doing well
