He was using fresh bunker. What a surprise that must have been. It takes a skilled angler to wrestle one of those in. Especially when you're not trying to catch one! That guy is either very lucky or a good fisherman. :wink:

Congrats on the cobia. There seem to have been a few get lost over the last couple of years. One of the best tasting fish in the ocean.
