Monstrous Roosterfish From Shore | Costa Rica December 2017

Just before Christmas, the beach here in Costa Rica experienced a sudden push of "gallo pez" which means roosterfish in Spanish.

From more than a half mile away I could see the roosters (gallos) crushing sardines, mullet and mackerel on the surface. It looked like torpedo explosions.

I began running down the beach towards the action. I knew this would probably be my last chance to catch a big roosterfish from shore, before I had to fly home to Massachusetts.
