California - November 99

This was a short trip, only 3 days and I was unfortunately sick on one of those, so only a few pictures worth showing.

I don't have a fish book for this area, so if anyone knows what these things are called, I'd be pleased to find out.

    Garibaldi           Giant Sea Bass

Thanks to Ken - Ken's Science Store Inc for the fish ID's

The second one doesn't look impressive does it??

Actually its a huge sea bass, estimates from those who saw it varied from 300-500lbs, and I reckon it was about 6ft long.  I am so glad there were no spear-gun fishers on this trip!
