I went surf fishing by the Seal Beach Pier yesterday, and was catching lots of spiny back rays and shovel nose sharks. While I was there, this guy who started fishing next to me and had only been there about five minute hooked into a white sea bass. I had my friend go over there and ask him what he was using. My friend said the guy had three large treble hooks on his line and a large sinker. I didnt know what it was that he was catching at the time and traded him some weights for a 5 pound fish.[angelic] Later on the bus trip home I was informed by an employee of Norms Bigfishtackle that it was a white seabass and had to be 28 inches to be legal. Is it illegal to snag fish in California?[crazy]
