Sort of in the same vein, but definitely on many southern california spearos' dream fish list. The Opah:
Somewhat rare, but not uncommonly caught under kelp paddy's during SoCal's offshore tuna season (it seems like maybe a dozen or so are caught per year, something like that). They're supposed to have some of the tastiest meat of any CA fish. Can you imagine hopping in offshore and seeing this massive red and silver circle sitting under the paddy? Haha.
As for the wolf eel, a buddy of mine just shot one last weekend. Apparently they're delicious!?
