In the present article, the authors consider hyperelliptic curves of odd degree of the form \(y^{2}=f(x)\), where \(f(x)\) is a monic irreducible polynomial, of degree \(2g+1\) and \(g \geq 3\), with integer coefficients and without multiple zeros in \({\mathbb C}\). All of these curves, after completing with the point at infinity, have the point \(\infty\) as a rational point. In some cases the curve may or not have more rational points. The main result is that there a lot of such curves with a unique rational point (this being \(\infty\)) and the fraction of curves with that property converges to \(1\) as \(g\) goes to \(\infty\). The main arguments uses \(p\)-adic analysis.
