10 - 12 pound black sea bass? Uhhh that would be a state record...I don't think it was that large...maybe 3-7 pounds by the looks of your pictures...

When i am fishing near the rocks they seem to put up a better fight then in open water cause they are trying to get into the rocks

That's very true.

Sea bass 10-12 pounds very rare...never seen a 12 pound black sea-bass...prob. never will...can someone validate this for me?

thats what i was thinking Kutt the biggest seabass i have caught was 4 pounds and the biggest my dad got was 7 pounds at seiku

well that was a rough guess. some of them were really big. like im talkin about a big gut and 2- 2 1/2 feet long. i dont know what size they usually run.

fishingmachine · Post by **fishingmachine** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:20 pm

they were probably in the seven or eight pound range do u have a photo of the big seabass

koryrasmussen55 · Post by **koryrasmussen55** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:21 pm

nope i do not.

fishingmachine · Post by **fishingmachine** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:22 pm

yeah i would say they were probably around 7-8 pounds cause a 10-12 pound sea bass is huge

Sorry to burst the bubble but here's the state's record for black sea bass:

Black Seabass Rockfish 10 lbs 4 oz Pacific Ocean - Tacoma Narros Joseph Eberling 5/20/1980

Maybe it was a different variety of rockfish...

ok gotcha. yeah i was just guessing by looking at it.

fishingmachine · Post by **fishingmachine** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:23 pm

yeah and that is a huge seabass as alot of seabass are caught when they are 3-7 pounds

fishingmachine · Post by **fishingmachine** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:24 pm

Yeah, it's all good...he probably did just what we would all do and "round up" -- big time! lol...they were probably 7 pounds at MOST.
