In this episode of BlacktipH, we explore the northern coastline of San Salvador, fishing on huge rock cliffs, and I caught a new species of grouper, a Nassau Grouper. Some of these rock cliffs were over 50ft! After a few casts, both Preston and Josh started hooking fish. We caught snappers and jacks.

We moved to the most northern point of the island, and Josh hooked a monster! After an intense battle, Josh landed a huge Nassau Grouper, his first-ever of that species. This was an incredibly impressive catch on a 10lb test.

To release the grouper, Josh had to climb over the cliff and slide down the other side with the grouper. Before leaving the spot, Josh hooked a large triggerfish. Preston and Josh headed back to Riding Rock before heading down to the south side of the island.

Josh hooked another triggerfish and this was the biggest one he’s ever seen! This was by far the largest triggerfish Josh has ever caught! We ended the day cleaning the fish and playing with the sharks at the marina.

Comment 1: Luke Bouwman Said: “Josh is the best at a fisherman’s picture for those of you that don’t know it’s how Josh made that triggerfish look like it was 50 lbs by holding it out like 2 feet🤣!”

Comment 2: Sim Z Said: ” Those fish that you thought were hybrid blue runners are actually fish called Bar Jacks or Red Jacks, they taste amazing and are excellent bait for deepwater fish like wahoo and marlin, kinda like a bonita in the shallows.“

Comment 3: Magic Mistake Said: ” I’ve always been an amazing fisher. And not only do I love to fish but I love you watch other people do it. Not just to see how big the fish is, but to see their pure excitement. When Josh caught that grouper, his face lit up so fast. The smile he had expressed made my morning so well. And again man all prayers to you and fighting cancer, we’re all here for you brother. Much love!”

This fish actually very calm in nature! In the photo belᴏw, yᴏu can see the I’ve NEVER Caught this FISH Before. – Coastlines – Episode #2
