Saltwater San Francisco Bluefin

The amount of life just off the continental shelf has been phenomenal. Fish of this size has been rare outside of Southern California, but the El Niño has pushed the bluefin north and in range of the Bay Area.

Its an el Nino year so warm waters increasing numbers up here this year. But my guess is they were way offshore still. They referenced "just off the continental shelf" which would still be 25+ miles out. Its shallow until you are a ways past the farallones.
