ZIHUATANEJO BECAME A HAVEN FOR ROOSTERS, THE KING OF THE INSHORE DIVISION, STRONG AND A REAL CHALLENGE ON LIGHT TACKLE; YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE STRENGTH AND BEAUTY OF THIS FISH WHICH BECAME VERY POPULAR FOR FLY FISHERMEN. IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT THE FIRIOUS FIGHT THAT A 55 POUNDS ROOSTER PRESENT ON YOUR CASTING TACKE, BUT THE WHOLE ENVORIMENT, YOU ARE REALLY GETTING INTO THE UNTAMED KINGDOM OF THIS BEAST, WHERE YOU SEE NOTHING BUT HUGE NOISY WAVES CRASHING ON THE ROCK AND SUDDENLY MILES AND MILES OF LONELY BEACHS AND TROPICAL LUSH, MOST TIMES EVEN WHEN TIDE IS CALM, SUDDENLY A HUGE WAVE BRINGS ADRENALIN TO CARDIAC LEVELS, EVEN THE MOST EXPERIMENTED HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WITH DIFFERENT LEVEL OF DAMAGES, FLYING ON THE TOP OF THE WAVE OR PASSING THRU IT WILL SURELY MAKE A MARK ON WAY YOU SEE LIFE, DOESN’T HAPPENED EVERY DAY BUT YOU KNOW IT COULD HAPPENED TODAY. MAENWHILE YOU ARE THERE, THE BOAT KEEPS GOING ALONG THE BEACH, ADOLFO IS LOOKING FOR SIGNALS, THERE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF EXCITEMENT GROWING, YOUR SENSES BECOME SHARPER, YOU FEEL THE BREEZE BUT IT ONLY IMPROVE THE EXPECTATION, YOU KNOW THAT THE BEAST KNOWS BY NOW THAT YOU ARE THERE, HE KEEPS PATROLLING HIS TERRITORY, THEN ADOLFO SLOWS DOWN, KINKO GOES UP TO THE ROOF START USING HIS ROD WHILE WATCHING THE WAVES, YOUR PLACE IS RIGHT ON THE FRONT PLATFORM OF THE BOAT AND GET READY WHILE ADOLFO PUT TWO TROLLING RODS ON THE BACK, ONE WITH A DOWN RIGGER AND THE OTHER ONE ON THE SURFACE WITH A LIVE GOGGLE EYE, BUT ALWAYS HIS OWN CASTING ROD HANDY, THE BATTLE FIELD IS SET. YOU START THE FIRST SHOTS THE FARTHER YOU CAN IN DIRECTION OF THE BEACH WHERE YOU KNOW HE LIKES TO FEED RIGHT BEHING WHERE WAVES BREAKS, HES IS NOT GONNA COME AFTER YOU ON THE FIRST SHOTS BUT HE IS AWARE THAT YOU ARE HERE AND IS NOT HAPPY, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY SEE SHADOWS FOLLOWING THE POPERS BUT IS NOT AN ATTACK YET, IT WON’T BE EASY., SUDDENLY A BIG SHADOW EMERGE FROM THE BOTTOM OF A BREAKING WAVE AND HE SHOWS UP ATTACKING YOUR POPPER MISSING THE FIRST STRIKE BUT MAKING HIM FURIOUS, YOU CAN SEE HIM CHASING IT UNTIL HE GETS IT BUT IT IS FAR TO FINISH, QUITE THE CONTRARY, THE REAL BATTLE STARTS HERE, YOU SEE HIS FULL LENGTH FLYING OUT OF THE WATER, HANDS ON, HE KNOWS IS TOUCHED AND A MAD RUN TO THE FAR SHORE MAKES YOU THING HE WILL EVEN GET OUT TO THE BAECH AND SEEMS LIKE IT WILL NEVER STOP, THE STRENGH OF YOU REEL, ROD, ARMS AND HART ARE TAKEN TO UNEXPECTED LEVEL, YOU RECOGNIZE IT IS A ONE TO ONE FIGHT WHERE NO ONE IS SUPERIOR, AND THIS WILL GO ON FOR THE NEXT 45 MINUTES OR ONE SECOND IF HE WINS, YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, IF YOU WIN YOU WILL SEE HIS FURIOUS EYES BUT IT WON’T BE JUST A FISH ANYMORE, BOTH OF YOU ARE EXHAUSTED, ADOLFO BRING HIM UP ON THE BOAT, TAKES AWAY THE JOOK FROM HIS MOUNT AND PRESENT HIS RESPECTS PUTTING A FISH ON HIS MOUNT BEFORE BRINGING HIM BACK TO THE WATER HOLDING HIM ON THE SIDE UNTIL HE RECOVERS AND TAKE OFF BY HIMSELF. WHEN YOU ARE UP TOO AND TAKE YOUR POSITION AGAIN YOU CAN ONLY WISH THAT YOUR NEXT FISH BE SMALLER. THIS CAN CONTINIU OVER AND OVER UNTIL YOU ARE ALL WORN UP.
THE RIDE BACK IS IN SILENCE, YOU ARE TESTING THE TASTE OF VICTORY, YOU CAN RESPECT YOURSELF AS A FISHERMAN. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE ELITE FISHERMEN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COMES TO ZIHUATANEJO.
