Noticeable scarring:  The black spot shaped like a vertical, angled slash on the left side is distinctive and should be a permanent means of identification.

Edit scarring description

Behavior:  All info taken from a YOY GSB sighting form that Mr. Pierce completed for me. The fish was close to the rock structure when it was first observed. It swam off after Mr. Pierce took several photos.

Additional comments:
From the amount of pigment in the tail, I used the monthly GSB photos on my web site (mikecouffer.smugmug.com - Giant Sea Bass Growth Changes) to come up with an age of about 12 months. That matched Mr. Pierce's report of the estimated size of "6-7 inches long". I checked the fish's spot pattern against all YOY fish photos submitted to me from La Jolla Shores last season and there were no matches. Look at the distinctive black spot shaped like a black slash on the left side of the fish. I've seen over 700 YOY fish but have never seen a black spot of that shape before! A distinctive and probably permanent mark!
