Rooster fish is one of the most wanted fish to catch worldwide. They average 20-50 pounds. And it can run as big as 100 pounds or more. They are trapped in Costa Rica throughout the year, and never disappoint the fishermen with their power and unique beauty.
The Sailfish are here all year, with the maximum time from January to July. In Costa Rica, it is not uncommon to raise 10 to 20 sailfish from the boat on any given day, a good day to see 30+. As for the rest of the year, it is very common to grow 3-8 per day. Although not as large or powerful as marlin, sailfish offers a more consistent and easier to find a bite.
