Nope. I asked the same thing about Brian's 38 incher as I was busted off last week. I'm convinced the seabass come into the harbor to feed and then leave and continue wherever they go. I'm sure they don't hang out there all the time. So your fishtrap could be miles away :)

I'm actually glad the second one got off. It's cool to know it's still out there. The 30 incher was plenty of meat for now anyway. Hell, I've still got salmon left over from April because I keep catching halibut and seabass.

You can't catch tomorrow what you kill today - please practice catch and release.
