Great video. Even better editing. Very entertaining.

With the BSB population on the rebound, I wonder if they will ever become legal again.

I remember an event that occured about 45 years ago when the entire San Diego Lifeguard Service feasted from harvest of one 500+ pound BSB. which was speared by our Captain at the time, Bob Shea. If I remember correctly, Bob was free diving in the waters around San Clemente Island.

This would have been a world record at the time but the fish was strapped to the boat's swim deck, out in the sun for two days, before coming back to port and being weighed. It came in a couple of pounds short.

It was the best fish meal that I can remember.

Bob
