    Monster cobia

    Crew from Brisbane went out on charter boat "Baitrunner" last Friday and bagged out on snapper and on the way back in wanted some sportfishing. Got more than they bargained for when this monster cobia took the bait on a 10 to 15kg rod.

    Two gaffs were required to lift it on board. Estimated weight 50kg plus as there were no scales big enough to check the weight as the iceworks was closed.

    Cheers
    Barry

    Skipper didn't tell me but he said that when he put the first gaff in it nearly pulled him in.
