Just got back from honeymooning in Costa Rica. Fortunately, my wife was willing to go fishing with me once again. We didn't get a chance to go for Sailfish, Marlin, Dolphin....etc because the wind was howling. I would estimate 30-50mph! We did manage to fish about 1/2 mileoffshore by Witches Island in Northern Guanacaste. We ended up trolling for roosterfish....have you ever heard of it?? We were using plugs and bucktails, with the bucktails we caught several bonitos which in turn we used to troll with for the roosterfish. We caught four of them in about an 1 1/2 hours.

The first one I caught took about 25 mins to reel in...my forearms were aching. I was expecting a huge fish, I have never worked that hard before (remember I am a fishin'rookie!) It was a decent size fish, but I dont know how it happened but I caught the fish by the tail, the line had hooked itself around the hook which acted like a noose and I pulled the fish in by it's tail.

Anyways, I have a couple of pics of these fish! Is there a way I could post them here?
