Couldn't tell ya a number, esp. if we're talking other species; Blackfish in the fall forget about it... no idea....

As far as Bass.... I make about one west wall trip in the spring hunting schoolies, the rest of the year I target bigger fish; as a result I tend to catch a lot few fish, but a fairly high % are keepers (there are exceptions... last oct.... lots of small bass with some keepah's mixed in.... ask JohnR)
Last year I had, about 6 fish over or around 20 off the rocks, a ton more between 10 and 20 (not sure how many)... thats mostly fishing May, October, November average 3-4 nights a week, mostly on plugs, a few hit eels)

From the boat (13ft whaler the f/v "Wile E.")
I dunno 12 or so over 20, 1 over 30 a bunch more from rats to teens... almost all of them on live eels fishing in 10ft of water or .. almost all caught in June. made about 15 trips in june last year, almost all at night so average close to 1 20 a night... not shabby in my eyes.... July and August... I fish when I can, but not alot....
