172 lb cobia

[THEFERMANATOR]

Man I wished I oculd have caught this beast on hook and line. I caught a 90 pounder years back and that was a SOLID fight in 125 feet of water. I could only imagine what a 172 pounder would fight like. Only downside is you know it is going to be one OILY son of a gun. My dad caught a 115 pounder before, and we ended up having to smoke all of it because it was so oily.

Being that it was speared and the Yammie 150 on the transom I figured it was a write up about our own SSIRedfish.
I wonder what that guy Pate's commentary would be?

Fun heaving that SOB over the gunnel!

Ive seen several 100lb+ come from Brazil. Not sure why they get mammoths like those there.....
