If the roosters show again this year an 8 wt might not do the job, I think a couple were DEMOLISHED last year. We got 35 roosters from 35-60+ pounds last summer. And another 35 from 1-20# from the beach. The big boys were ALL caught at the island. Tight Lines amigo.

You wouldn't be talking about me would you Bob??!?! LOL
The pieces of what once were a 10wt rod would have to agree with you. Those big Gallos are no joke.
I'm about to order a 12-14 wt Reddington Predator for this years trip, they have a crazy amount of backbone for a fly rod
