Chilean Sea Bass fishing
Dissostichus eleginoides
About Chilean Sea Bass
A deep, cold-water predator of the southern oceans living over the continental slope, far deeper than most rod-and-reel fishing reaches. It is overwhelmingly a commercial longline species rather than a recreational target. Anglers rarely encounter it, so treat any catch as a deep-drop rarity.
Typical size: Typically 70 to 110 cm and 7 to 20 kg; trophy fish exceed 2 m and 80 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 80 kg (varies by region).
