they are not necesarilly good eating, i release all of the ones i catch. but if you want to eat one i reccomend the smaller ones, i think they are better eating. i have had roosterfish machaca, and that was pretty good, but i have had sting ray machaca too and that was good to. i will just say that there are much better fish to keep for eating then the roosterfish.

Enough said, If I'm lucky enough to get one.

Well, I do hope you kept that particular fish because if you put your hands in my lungs and held me in the air I dont think I could recover from that lol

I know you like your avet, but I dont see you doing a 180 mile cast from point loma... But you can always try

I know there has been a roosterfish or two caught in diego during el nino. Also they catch bone fish, Ive caught one in newport years ago. Hey tony you were supposed to get back to me about guys who do custom fiberglass work
