Default 172 lb cobia

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.

Talking

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!
