Sean M and his
dad Don headed out to do a little flounder fishing yesterday at the ocean city
reef and after a couple throw back flounder and one keeper they drifted past a
pot flag and sall 2 huge Cobia. Sean was
ready he had a rod rigged with a fluorocarbon leader and hook. He reached in to the minnow bucket and grabbed
the largest minnow they had and casted it toward the huge fish. The minnow
landed about 5-10 feet from the cobia he immediately wet full speed at the
minnow jumping out of the water as he ate it.
Sean and his father where in for a 30 minute fight. Armed with nothing more than a small hand gaffe
the two of them where able to wrestle the fish in to the boat. The cobia hit the scales at 86.4 pound and 62
inch JUST shy of the NJ state record.
