Divers Thrilled By Huge School Of Giant Sea Bass

Divers are always looking for that one underwater moment they can savor. For the first time in years, at La Jolla Cove, divers spotted large schools of giant sea bass swimming right by them. This is the moment the divers have waited for, for a long time.
A large number of giant sea bass started showing up in the area about two weeks ago.

These great creatures showed up in the underwater reserve in La Jolla. Seeing the bass return to La Jolla Cove, especially in large numbers is an incredible sight.

Some of the giant sea bass seen in the area ranged between 75 and 125 pounds, with the biggest bass well over 150 pounds.These magnificent fish are as gentle as they are big, and will allow an up close look. They were seen close to winter time, so it was a rare chance to get a glimpse of what the waters off the coast may have been like 50 years ago.
