I think the Oceanside Pier and the San Clemente Pier probably see the greatest number of these fish that seem to be making a comeback. Thanks for the information.

I hooked twice in 2015. We mostly caught them at the pier end, when pulled close to the pier (usually after 1 hr hard fight) we either cut line or one brave soul climbed down the ladder to unhook the gentle giant. The largest one we hooked was more than 7 ft, mostly hooked were 3 to 5 ft. The estimated weights are from 100 to 400 lbs, since they all have huge girth. They show up all year around and were very close to the pier. The only excitement can match the giant sea bass were 80 lb plus bat rays and 5 ft sharks.
