Let me know what Makoville needs and i will bring it!

Week 2 in October, as of now all we need is someone capable of landing a big rooster on 2-4-6lb test, record time anyone?

what is the current record? We wouldn't have access to a registered scale. I boated a few pigs on 12 lb test last year. I think that is an awesome ide though..light line week for monster Pez Gallo!

Yes Dom, but remember most all roosters fought on light tackle DIE. They fight their hearts out and almost never recover. So while a record, it strikes me as a total waste of the resource in fish over 50 pounds, on smaller fish there are many of them in the school. Just my 2 cents worth.

I completely agree with this statement Bob, other than going for the record on heavier line hoping for a monster. We've had a few roosters die on us using heavier gear, so tiring one out from a boat with 8 lb test over 2 or 3 hours does not seem ethical to me. If all you care about is getting your name in the books, you're in the wrong sport.

Personally I don't care if theyre 50 lbs or 1 lb, its my favorite fish in the ocean and I love to catch em, especially on the fly.
