David Andersen Perpetual Award

$250 Cash for the first Legal White Sea Bass

The reward is in honor of the late La Jolla waterman, David Andersen, who died after spearing a 46-pound white seabass off La Jolla. He was found with his spear gun still in his hand, and his line attached to the big white seabass. To pay tribute, Andersen's buddies, including Repashy, ate the tasty seabass at his funeral at Windansea.
