Sea bass is a sweet, delicate fish that live in the wild for around 75+ years and grow up to be a couple of centimeters and weigh a couple of grams, up to around 6 feet weighing more than 500 pounds when they reach maturity. Seabass can be found in both the Gulf of Mexico and the east coast and can be caught pretty much year-round, though they're best in the late months of winter and early months of spring.
