Well done Bryceman...for those unfamiliar, WSB are probably the most desirable and challenging near shore targets in California. Great stalk, it was not aware or you, and a good shot. Looks like you near stoned it, minimal tangling in the kelp. You were shallow, you were on the bait, and you made a good stalk, congratulations and thanks for posting.

BTW, white sea bass are one of the few marine organisms healthier today than in the past 50 years or so, they have responded well to the management plan and restrictions on near shore gill netting. Many more WSB now than when I was a kid and searched long and hard for them back in the 70-80's. The gill net restrictions were imposed by the voters, not by the DFG who has a questionable record of managing any commercial species on a sustainable basis...

Excellent video! Looks like a fun spot for a hunt. Did you shoot the video with a GoPro?

hahaha thanks a lot! Yes I free dive only. I have been in a free dive club for years. Free diving is a great sport to know when your a herper or a naturalist. I take it with me on every herp trip I ever go on. It goes hand n hand in the tropical countries!

Us at United Anglers have had a lot to do with the WSB comeback..

Releasing WSB from grow pens for 15 years now, i think.

The video doesn't work anymore. He must appears to have removed it.
