Kimi Werner on a hunt for California White Sea Bass

Kimi Werner and family meet up with Ryan Callaghan and Mike Raabe to embark on a hunt for California's most illusive fish, white sea bass. After getting geared up by Riffe International, the friends set off on an adventure searching for the ghosts of the sea. Waves, red tide and murky conditions make their hunt even more of a struggle but the one thing that bonds this crew is their tenacity for the hunt and some fun-loving humor along the way.
Thank you to the RIFFE ohana for making this trip happen! Check them out here:

[@CaptainPotter]

“The best driver in California”. Abahahaha

[@michaelcrabtree2939]

Good to see you doing videos again...wow that water was murky...glad you were safe diving. Good video...keep up the good work.

[@AiranStaRita]

Eyyyy! Been a year! 🔥

[@juliemvo]

We missed you so much and you're in our area! Hope you got something good with Juan on the next video you'll be posting 😝

[@shotgunaaron]

Kimi!!! You’re back 🤙. Missed your videos… was getting worried 😟. I live in Cali and kayak fish the ocean waters. Yeah viz is terrible … but we do have some big fish worth the effort. Keep the vids coming 🙏

[@Nesyaishere]

OH YOU'RE BACKK, im glad you did because this is one of the channel i used to use to improve my english (im not a native speaker) and keeping it sharp because it's so fun to watch and i enjoy your content!

[@PA96704]

Brah I lived in SD for 8yrs. We got a whole underground group of Hawaiians just enjoying the abundance of Socal waters.

[@Joshadowolf]

OMG you’re back, Kimi, 🥺🥺🥺

[@ameraboukhadra7618]

So great to see you back! Wow, it was very dirty water that you had to dive in at first. Diving around Catalina Island always scared me because I ran into great white sharks when I was spearfishing there. It is too bad that you did not get your White Sea Bass. I hope to see more videos from you as I enjoy your videos and Buddy sure has grown up a lot. He is a handsome boy. Can't wait to see what happened on your following dive in Catalina.

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@judithnicholson1919]

Welcome back to me I am so looking forward to more episode I’ve been watching reruns of the reruns. Buddy is getting so big and so adorable with his beautiful curly hair and his big O beautiful blue eyes talking even more go get that white Seabass and I’m looking for more episode love you Kimmy and family bye.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Good grief, what a cute kid! I'm from Florida and we have red tide problems a lot of years, but I didn't know California has red tide in the chilly water too. That sucks.

[@score2high]

Too bad for not getting the white sea bass in this video. Maybe the next one? I wish you could do a collaboration with Taku from Outdoor Chef Life. Hopefully he and Jocelyn can make it out to Hawaii again. Maybe you can even teach him to make real poke, not the mainland fish salad!

[@kekoamaunakea4473]

Welcome back Sistah!! Catalina island is awesome, maybe one day I’ll make it there and dive. ML&Aloha 🤙🏾

[@youngwang5201]

Glade to see your back putting out videos! Try going to Channel Islands off of Oxnard California lots of White Sea bass water is also cleaner

[@redwood9741]

Dang.. glad you are back !. I hope you do some Alaska this year at Rufus's .

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Welcome back, you've been missed...and you return with a dive in my neighborhood at that. You should check out the bluefin fishery too

[@ntr-cptr7709]

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! I was beginning to wonder about you and your Ohana. The Lord heard my prayers! So glad to see you all! Buddy you are so big!

[@tombishop8083]

4 foot vis in dirty water? Big current and surge? Welcome to California ab diving! On closure now but with luck we will be back about the time your son is diving so keep the 7mm suit. Great video and you are absolutely right that it is all about the camaraderie.

[@JasonFleckDaHawaiianViking]
