Striped bass caught on the backside of Catalina

That's pretty cool.  I heard of some stripers caught off of Crescent City a couple years back - maybe we'll catch one perching the mouth of the Eel...

 

We are shipping so much water down there maybe the fish think they can swim up the LA River to get to the Delta

 Thats a terrible thought but highly plausible. Anyway thats a f-ing big ass bass. That thing looks like an east coast fish. Maybe it swam down to the canal and up.

Thanks mike!

Cool, but why does the story always go like this...?

Ya, we were fishing at ____ and caught a really nice ____ which is extremely rare for this location....so we killed it.

Same reason I'd kill a wsb or yellowtail if one bit my line up here......they taste good

Striped bass are caught in the surf on occation down here. They usually get them in the surf, but there not an everyday catch...

When I was young my dad and I were fishing the westend of Cat. for yellow tail and I landed a 12lb salmon, can't remember what kind it was, but it tasted good. Back in the late eighties, a bunch of salmon gather right in front of Newport harbor jetty for about a week, man you should of see all the boats that gathered there.

Handling a shaker salmon - looks pretty dead to me.
