Spotted Bass Alabama spotted bass were brought to California in 1974 and their success there led to stocking in other western states. Today, 24 states contain spotted bass, and they keep getting bigger. Six states set new records in this decade, and California rules with a 10-pound 4-ounce beast from Pine Flat Reservoir. The Wichita subspecies of spotted bass, feared extinct by some ichthyologists, occurred only in streams of the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.

Tuna & Offshore Fishing Tuna and offshore fishing refers to the taking of seasonal migratory game fish that frequent Southern California. It also includes pelagic shark fishing. Some species are regular visitors to Southern California while others are relatively rare and only arrive in years when water conditions are suitable.
