Hi Matt,

Great catch there. I bet this morning it was hard to decide where to go - out to the 50's or stay in close.
Did the big cobia take a live bait or just a cut bait on a bottom rig? How long did the fight last, and how much trouble did Jason (or you) have gaffing and pulling something that large over the side?
I think my workmate Mark (plasticfantastic on Ausfish) is keen to go on a half-day charter soon so I'll probably book on the same day. See you then, and thanks for all the fish (on past trips)!

Brent.
