Left at dawn from Mashes Sands.
Rustled up some bait.
Set up a chum line in 25ft and put the first king ever in the boat. 36 inches.
Lost another one about 10 yards from the boat.




The cobia streak continued with a 38" champ who wouldn't give up.
After an impressive areal display, he doused me good with a tail slap from 10ft away.



Had several brutal, reel-draining runs.
Put a flounder and several spanish in cooler too.
Ended up with a smokin' run and spectacular jumps from a big spinner.
Of course the grouper bite was happening. Paroled several.
Now that's my favorite way to get sore arms!

WTG!

Dang, Woopty! Did that cobe have a bucket?! Looks like he was using a fire hose on you! Joking aside, SOLID report as USUAL!

HEY BBG, THAT LOOKED LIKE PURE OLD SALTY SWEAT TO ME. HA HA HA HA

Sure COULD be, PA! Fishing buddy Sharkman can attest that I looked that way after fighting a 35 pounder last year in the month of June . I actually shared a video of the fight in my post but edited out what I said after we landed the fish. Sat doubled over about to have a heart attack from heat stroke, and said these exact words, "That fish absolutely kicked my azz!" Woopty actually looks a might bit better than I did so until he says otherwise I'm buying his tail-slap story!

i whupped him quick cause I had him on a stout rod. He made me sweat for it, but I re-rigged in about 10 mins.
I have had them on a small rod in July absolutely whup my azz good enough to head to the hill.
I cherish the exhaustion.

HEY BBG, YA WOULDNT LET A LITTLE 30 POUND COBE BEAT UP ON AN OLD JAR HEAD LIKE YOU, JUST JOKING.

Well, PA, he might have beat me up a bit but at least I can say I wasn't the one who went down for the count, got thrown in the ice box, and eaten for dinner!
