Thats a great fish, and a nice story to go with it. Thanks for posting the link.

When I was 17, my dad and I took our first trip down to Baja. The first day, I landed a 135lb yellowfin tuna, and the second day I landed a 80+lb rooster on 20lb test. After a 2 hour fight, we got the rooster in the boat, took a photo, I gave it a kiss, then we released it (spent 10 minutes reviving it w/ engine in gear before it swam away w/ its strength back).

After getting back to the resort, we checked the internet and found out not only would it have been a junior world record roosterfish, but for the line class it would have been world record as well. But I'm happy to have released the giant so that I can catch it when it gets even bigger! Here's a picture of it.
