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.

Holy hell!!!!! It looks like one of those Mekong Catfish. I reckon it would be more than 50kg.................
Cheers Benny
