Wow Rossman you my new idol. What you catch in a year, others take a lifetime to catch up.

That looks like a lot of time spent on the water fishing good for you where you fishing sounds like Mexico

Wow, What an interesting place to kayak fish -- less than a mile peddle to the island, and 4 miles to a very fishy looking bank. Did you fish the bank ? or did you stick to the island and coastwise fishing ? I am surprised that you did not have any black sea bass bycatches, regardless, impressive totals...alot of fun catching all that fish !

Probably 90 percent of my fishing has been around Isla San Roque although for the past month, Isla Asuncion has been a bit more productive. I am also surprised that I haven't run into a BSB. I had planned on harvesting one while I was here because I can, but so far I haven't enticed one.

Isla San Roque looks like a safer destination(less exposed than Asuncion). Maybe when the weather is good you can make a trip 3 miles SW off Pt De San Roque to the high spot. There or the bank 3' SE of Isla Asuncion are bound to hold BSB, plus the troll to get to either of those spots could produce tuna or other pelagics. Leave a small barracuda or whitefish on the bottom while you work your other rods(probably too many yellowtail around to give a BSB a chance to eat your mackeral). Would be tempting to do a drift from Isla Asuncion to Pt. San De Rogue or vice versa depending on the current direction. Surprised there are no grouper in your tally. The whole area looks very fishy -- What a fun place to kayak fish.
