Report from our recent trip to Punta Colorada in Baja's East Cape
Ron with the first Roosterfish of the trip
Curtis, bendo in the big game
Curtis, notice the self inflating PFD, it got splashed and blew up
His first Roosterfish
Robs first Roosterfish
Marty’s first Rooster
Ben’s Roosterfish
Good release
Any other trip these are good Roosters
But not when you are catching more of them this size and bigger
A couple nice little JC
This Rooster is well over 50lbs
Ron with another nice one, he dropped it in the water before I could get a good shot of it
Rob Bendo in front of Punta Arena
His dad hits the same spot for a hookup
Another 45-50lb Rooster
When you didn’t get a Rooster the JC kept you busy
And another big one for Curtis
Rod with one of the bigger fish from the trip, up in the 60’s
And another for Marty
And now something from the nature channel
On the second half of the trip things cooled down a bit but still some great fish where landed, including this Rooster from Josh
Pompano
Vince with a nice Dorado
Chris on the left helping his dad Tony with his Dorado
Josh and his 24lb Tuna
This fish deserves a few shots. A new kayak fishing record 75lb Rooster fish from Tony Adams. I spoke with the people at Boga grip today and they said it take at least 70lbs to max the scale and this fish did it easy so we are calling it 75lbs.
Steve and his 58 pound Rooster, this fish dragged him at least a mile and a half off shore after hooking it right next to the beach. Took him a hour and a half
Chris and his 26lb Dorado
Overall a great trip with more big Roosters landed and released then on any other trip. We saw a lot of Marlin but only had three actually take a bait but none stuck for more than a couple of minutes.
Great trip with great groups.

Re: photo report from Baja
That is a BIG rooster fish. I have caught several but never one that size. What are you using for bait?Jim Sammons LJKF wrote:

Didn't weigh that one but certainly in the 50lb class. We had several in that range a couple that would appear to be in the 60 range and then the real big one that we are calling 75lbs. Caught by Tony Adams.
All of these big Roosters where caught on live mullet.

We kept a few Tuna, had fresh Sashimi with cold Pacificos after fishing. The Dorado, one was cooked up for our dinner one night, the Pompano and a couple of Pargo. All Roosterfish were release healthy, though I did have to jump in the water to assist one on it's way as were the JC and the one small hammerhead shark. All billfish managed to release themselves
