Not long after angler Victor Sommers, of Balboa Island, California, cast his bait into the water, his six-pound line went tight. An hour and a half later, his 45-pound, nine-ounce white seabass went into the fishbox. Sommers’s seabass, which he caught off Laguna Beach, is in line to top the current six-pound line-class record of 43 pounds, seven ounces.Courtesy Of Victor Sommers
