  • My brother, my dad, and I set off to go camping and spearfishing on Catalina Island in California for a week in late May of 2024. We camped in two harbors camp ground and had a blast. We cooked everything we could catch and had a nice week of being out of service and unwinding. We had pretty comfortable weather and pretty good dive conditions. I hope you enjoy the video of our trip!

      It’s definitely nice to do trips like these with my family. Don’t get to do these things as often anymore.

      @@spawnrcandbikes we were wearing 5mm wetsuits and were comfortable. I’d bet you’d be pretty cold pretty quick in less than a 3mm and even that wouldn’t keep you in the water long.

    Great video editing but damn bro making yourself look bad with those baby fish. Leave all those to get bigger.
    And you don't know what a white sea bass looks like?! Look it up
    Also fyi You were on the border of a marine conservation area.. .

    • @TheWaterloggedWoodsman

      Thanks for watching the video. All fish taken were legal sized according to California regulations with room to spare. Plus anything bigger would be more than we could eat anyway. And all places I dove were legal. I know that the reef is close to an mpa, but it isn’t one. Everyone has their own responsibility to make sure they’re not crossing into no take zones.

      Those sargos and sheep head were good eating size… really no worries here.
      If he kept a juvy white or calico sea bass I get it but those fish he kept look legal and good eating size brotha

      @@1surfpesca_ yeah I purposely didn’t shoot any calicos that weren’t obviously above limit. It’s too easy to misjudge fish underwater. It’s gotta be tough for new divers to make that 14inch judgement when they’re starting out in socal. I only really know cause I measure a lot of my rockfish up here in central California that don’t have a size limit just to see and have reference.
