    My original plan was to hunt for yellowtail using a throw flasher when this big school of white bass swam directly under me. I'd never seen a school this big in a spot with no kelp in sight. Each fish was way over legal and I couldn't decide which was the biggest to shoot. My hesitant trigger finger got the better of me when one fish spooked and the rest of the bass scattered in a heartbeat. The second time I saw the school I lined up on the absolute nearest fish and shot right away! Speared it out in the blue and played with the fish for at least 5 minutes all the way to the surface, since there was no kelp around to tie up. It was a fun day on the water and a tasty fish to bring home.

    When you've lived landlocked your whole life, the biggest fish you see are just a few feet long, so I'm always amazed when I see these people sized fish.

      It's crazy how big fish can get out here in California. Sometimes it feels like I'm diving with prehistoric creatures when I compare ocean fish to lake fish. But hey, land locked can mean you're closer to areas where you can hunt wild animals like deer and pigs. I live so far away from open land that I've never tried to seriously hunt with a riffle. Always wanted to, but never figured out the logistics of it.

    How did u go about tracking them down? Never caught a wsb nor bsb

    • @abzde
      @abzde  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ha I think I don't do a very good job at tracking seabass down in the water. They are so big it's hard to miss them when you do find one. White seabass don't live year round in Southern California so that's usually why you don't see them in the water. I've gone out couple times this year and haven't seen any. But I'll keep trying.

      Well it's April now. I hope I see one tomorrow when I jump in the water!.
      Update I did not see any white sea bass and I didn't shoot any of course. I guess I got to go out again another day

    White seabass this size are breeder fish that maintain the fish population. Killing them is unfortunate decision.
