Now I 've seen it all..... I was at PLO past Monday and witness one of angler fishing right corner bring up 2 Yes! I said 2! cobia over railing ...... I was shocked needless to say but it wasn't one of those Mr. brown or UPS truck people catch down in Va beach.
One of them were about 17 inches and other one was like 22 inches...I told angler to please release both cobia becase it is very rare species plus it was undersize but he told me to buzz off because he thought it was a shark! Anyhow, I made him release both fish by telling him all this BS stories about anglers loosing their vehicles because they had illegal cobia in their car trunk....Well...I know it was wrong thing to do but it worked and he ended up releasing both cobia without any harm done to them...... Any of you ever caught cobia this far up the bay..I know some told me that they used to catch big cobia near target ship but I personally never witnessed cobia coming out of PLO surf....
What next? Mermaid?
