Thats Me and Steve we caught the 80 lb Class Cobia…I reeled it in and Steve Gaffed it…it was his first time ever gaffing a fish but he did it like a pro….got it in the soft area underneath and close to the head and immediately lifted the head out of the water, it took us both to pull the fish into the boat. A fish this big brought into the boat before he is completely played out can break bones easily. I fought him for almost 45 minutes on a Spinning Reel with 30 pound test line. That we landed him is a tribute to both of our work, knowledge and co-operation. I appreciate Steve’s reassurance as I fought him and his excellent job of getting him in the boat at the end it all came down to him.
Can ya tell I’m happy? Yes I smelled like fish
As a frame of reference that filet table is 6 feet long. Yes I cut him up and yes we ate some of him raw and yes the rest in in our freezers.
Cobia is considered by most as one of the top 3 table fares that swims.
Now is this the perfect site or what? porn, pretty girls and fishing….I SHOULD be rich….
