The Giant Black Sea Bass are making a nice comeback in Califorina.
F8, 1/200th, ISO 320, Tokina 10-17mm
I've seen many black sea bass recently at Catalina Island and Anacapa island in Southern Califorina.
I took this photo last weekend, we were lucky to find a large group of them that wanted to get cleaned and possibly mate. Still, they keep their distance usually and move quickly, this guy was not sitting still. Some of the younger ones can be approached if they get used to you.
You can see many parasitic copepods on the face.
