3.25' calico would at least double the world record. There is a small resident population of broom tail grouper in La Jolla. They're seen ocationally and I've seen a few photos. Broom tails look much more like calicos than small bsb do. Especially under water with the sun shining on them. Some fish come north seasonally then migrate back south; dodos, wahoo, even seen sierra once. Others come north perhaps as larvae or juveniles and stay, but can't reproduce; grouper and the green sea turtles in south SD Bay. Some come and set up reproducing populations; like short fin corvina and bone fish. If you saw a broom tail you're lucky and if it was a massive calico, that's lucky too. Mike
