Just got word of a big cobia just weighed in at Wallace's. If verified, it will be a new state record, around 109 pounds!

Good luck to the angler, I hope it's true! A fantastic catch!


Dr. Julie Ball

Wow thats a HUGE one, that almost tops North Carolina's biggest!!!! NC state record is 113 lbs 6 oz. I think someone up here can tops NC's!!!

It's true. The word is there are 1 or 2 more in the 100# class on the way in to Wallaces now. Some boats landed up to 8 fish this morning.

That's great! I'm so glad to see the cobia fishery off to such a great debut this year. Hopeully it will continue.

Julie

What a Fish! Congratulations! I have to say it's too bad it's not catch and release though. I gotta believe that Cobia are at pretty much the top of their food chain and I hate to see them get taken. Maybe I'm just a tree hugger at heart!

Congrats again!

Nice fish!Where was the Big one Caught?

WOW!!!

Might be time to start cobe fishin!

Great Fish i am very jealous. Congrats to all.

I am very glad that we bought insurance to cover the 1st prize in next weeks tournament.

there is now over over 25K on the line if you guys can bereak this record.

Look forward to seeing you guys there.

Dr. Ball said she would be there.

York spit vacinity. 33" girth on that thing from eye to eye inside was over 11" I have never seen one that big. It had dried out quite a bit also they brougt it in a back of a truck with towells on it. congradulations to the crew once again! They caught it on a penn 345 levelwind and the gaff man had never gaffed a fish.

That's awesome!! One week early for the 25K...may be it will be broken at the tourney?!?!
Congrats to the angler!!!

Looks like Geib and I need to break out the cobia gear again!!!!!

Mike
