Last cast rooster

After loosing a decent size jack in the surf, thanks to the "legal poachers" with castnets, I went to the marina to check on my friends..
I was leaving already and something in my head made me turn around a give it a shot.
At the third cast of the Half'n'Half I felt like I got stuck in the rocks...in a few seconds I realized it wasn't so   ; )
Very ihteresting the way it hit the fly and the way it fought..different than in the surf1
Picture is poor, but once weighted it was pushing 30 lbs.
Even though I am firm believer of catch and release, I am not an extremist and I did sacrifice this one for the table.
Roosterfish is not bad eating as they want you to believe.
