I don't think so. In '68 I stuck my head in a cave and when my eyes focused the whole cave was filled with mouth! A little excited I made it topside
for air and subsequent dives we confirmed it was a huge Black Seabass. In those days that was the target fish of the fly in tank divers but we went on
our way on the look for other prizes. It really saddens me to see photos like that! I hope that angler has some remorse when he has time to consider
what he's done.Kgryfon - 3-22-2014 at 10:26 PM
Yes, I agree. I'm a fisherperson but this one should have been left in the ocean.blackwolfmt - 3-23-2014 at 05:19 PM

I like the idea of catch and release on these giants, they are very rare to catch, old too. I caught one this past winter in Mulege that weighed
somewhere in the 175-200lb class. I tried like hell to revive him, but no dice. From what I have been told, they usually don't make it, after being
released. The one I caught was some 1st class eating. Ii would post pics to this site, but can't figure out how to do it. MAybe laterRuss - 3-25-2014 at 06:42 AM
I have also heard they are hard to revive. May Pescador could shed some wisdom on us?MMc - 3-25-2014 at 07:17 AM
