Holy Pez Gallo! That’s 70 pounds of Roosterfish!

June 6, 2010 By JD 1 Comment

Yep, that's a big one!


California fishing guide, Mike Moore has been plying the waters of Baja’s East Cape for many years, hoping for a really big roosterfish…and he finally got one last month. This beast, hooked slow trolling a live jack just outside the surfline, measured 65 inches and was estimated to weigh 70 pounds.

After a quick photo & measurement session, Moore let the grande pez gallo go and plans to get a fiberglass replica mount made.
