Out here in California, we call Jewfish "Black Seabass". The record out here is over 500 lbs. That record should stand. they put a moratorium on them in 1978 or 1979. I have to claim partial responsibility for the moratorium. My friends and I caught 3 in a matter of days. Mine was 168 pounds, my buddy's was 365. We hooked them at the same moment. My buddy took another friend of ours out a couple of days later and took a 250 pounder. The moratorium was issued shortly after. I think you can still fish for them in Baja. I think, check first. They call them "Mero" down there. Great eating.
