nice fish mate,ho big ws he?
Very nice Cobia, must be a few Squid out in the Bay at the minute.
One question, what gear subdued him and what bait?
Thanks Tom
thanks fellas, yeah he was a nice little fish and i dont get too many of em down this neck of the woods, but had been putting out a berley trail for about 3 hours.
Got him on a live moses perch ( legal size) with a 6/0 gamatsu circle hook through the back of the neck behind the head, unweighted, chinese penn 7000 spinning reel and snapper rod both from Kmart with ten kilo line and 50 lb 4 metre long jikai leader.
Fish went 940 long , took ages to get it to the boat, i was on my own and had a hell time getting it in the net
got some nice squire too but nothing as good as what the other fellas on this site have been getting so did not post pics
nice cobia mate, did he perform in the boat?
have seen a few messy boats after a big cobia hit the deck.
well done.

Thanx ron , yeah he went balistic , they have very hard heads,,,,,,,, but the heavy blow to the back of the head with the large shifting spanner from my tool box seemed to settle him down fairly quikly and he fell asleep in the icebox
Thata a good fish for around peel mate. Damb that would wake you up sitting there watching the burley trail run off then baaaaaaag. Well done PS it is fn trying to net a big bugger by yourself tricky stuff to not snap the rod or the net cutting through as he searges away.
Its good to see fish like that are coming back to Peel. We used to get them in good numbers with their yellowtail brothers 20 odd years ago. Well done mate. Thats a top catch....
Well done Unka, I got 1 a touch smaller at Peel back in March. Great fun and a happy mament to get something your not expecting.

Lol i luv the way you put him asleep funny story. I had a nurse shark in the back of the tinny and boy it was tail wipping the tinny hard. I had fun sending him over the back with out any damade to the big bugger. Always fun by yourself. Cheers
Well Done Unka,
Cobia are a great fighting fish.
