WSB Picture Thread
If you haven't checked it out already, there's a WSB Tournament going on right now until the 30th of April.
"The Awards Party will be held in Mid May 2017 in Redondo Beach and will once again include an awesome raffle with over $10,000 in gear up for grabs, plus food and drinks, and behind the scenes tours of the King Harbor White Sea Bass Growout." With that being said, I'll post the first picture. Underwater pics and videos are more than welcome on the thread. (Blur your backgrounds and hide your spots if you have any land photos) This was my first WSB weighed out to 56.2lbs. I have the write up on another forum. Let's get the ball rolling! |

Re: WSB Picture Thread
Yo Ren, here's another fish for you.
This beautiful lady went the same size as your fish - 56 pounds -but I'm 6'2" so it looks smaller but really it's not...

Re: WSB Picture Thread
Nice fish Errin! Thanks for sharing the stoke. I've been doing more statics after taking the FII Level 1 course last week. Trying to find time to head out, but debating whether I should make a trip to Baja or Catalina.

Re: WSB Picture Thread
I spent 3 days last week diving around Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands. After driving for 8 hours towing Jim’s 26’ Grady White we arrived in Ventura at 4am, Wednesday morning. After two hours of sleep we made the passage to Anacapa in about 30 minutes. The water was a little cold and turbid for yellowtail. So we spent most of the time looking for white seabass in the murky kelp. I did one of my most creepy dives ever prowling around at sunset in a kelp forest with less than 10’ of viz. The dark shadows were really eerie. Alas the allusive seabass were nowhere to be found. On the last day of diving I squeezed the trigger on a 10 lb sheepshead thinking this was going to be the best thing I could get this trip – they make great ceviche. A little while later I was practicing my breath holds by resting along the edge of a reef and sand at 40 feet in open water. After watching the little reef fish for 1:20 min, I looked over my shoulder and there were three WSB swimming along the sand behind me. I pivoted around, lined up, and let the shaft fly. After peeling off about 100 feet of line from my speargun, followed by four hard runs, the fish gave up. I had caught my first white seabass at a weight of 26 pounds!
The icing on the cake was telling the story to LompocLocal and crew back at the boat launch and getting the head nod of approval. |
