GIANT Needlefish Caught From Shore in Costa Rica

Here in Costa Rica, you have absolutely no idea what might bite next when you cast a lure out into the waves. You might hook a cubera snapper, roosterfish, jack crevalle or even "jumbo" size needlefish! Some folks immediately disregard needlefish and want nothing at all to do with them. I can understand this if you are fishing with live bait, because needlefish are notoriously good at stealing bait and slicing through leaders with their rows of razor sharp teeth. However, I view needlefish as a challenge because they are also very difficult to hook and land using lures. I was also shocked at how well big needles fight, and how agile and incredibly quick they are.
