Caught on a sardine while drifting for halibut

I used to live in Huntington Beach , Ca. and went fishing off
Pendleton all the time. I caught that fish 3 times and my buddy caught
him twice. We named him Basil the Bass. It looks like he`s lost a
little weight since we quit fishing there.

I caught that same fish also. Since I practice catch and eat, I kept a
couple of fillets and released the rest. That would account for the loss of
weight.
