Roosterfish In Costa Rica | Insane Kayak Fishing
This past winter my wife Lauren and I guided two awesome groups of American anglers and their wives in Costa Rica. We explored the jungle together, saw sloths and monkeys, and of course went fishing!
If you'd like to learn more about the area of Costa Rica we visited, then please head over to ????
The fishing from the beach in the days leading up to this kayak trip had been unusually slow. However, when I woke up on the morning of February 4th 2019, I saw huge topwater explosions about a mile offshore.
I hustled to get my gear together, and within minutes I was dragging a small $5/hour rental kayak down to the beach. I paddled offshore and encountered what was arguably the most heart-pounding fishing experience of my entire life.
Giant roosterfish and monster jack crevalles were smashing sardines all over the surface. The roosterfish were all huge. At times I could actually see them cruising beneath my kayak. The fish would erupt on sardines, then settle and relax for 15 minutes, before erupting and crashing on sardines on again. IT WAS WILD!
About a dozen frigate birds were circling in the sky above, watching the roosterfish and the sardines. I paddled hard to keep up with the frigates and the fish, which were traveling at a good clip.
At 18:13 in this video my Halco Roosta Popper gets in haled by a roosterfish which I'm guessing weighed around 50 pounds. The fight was incredible, and I did as good a job as possible reviving and releasing the fish. I hope and have a good feeling she survived ✌????
One roosterfish was sufficient for me.
Roosters are incredible creatures and unbelievable sport fish. I'm confident I could of hooked up several more times, but I was content, and saw no point in harming another rooster.
But you can bet a million dollars I was back out there the next morning!
On February 5th I paddled back out and experienced action which was just as intense - but I'll save that for the next video...
