Headed out with my destin cousin. While chasing bait just out the pass. Here comes three migraters. We were so shocked. We just stared at first. Then it set in. Panic set in as we started rigging to throw at them. We chased them. Threw. Bang. Cobia hook up. As we got that ling gunnel side. The poorly rigged popped. And off he went. We continued with the original plans. Isn't it to early for Cobia migration?

I have no reason to doubt him, I was starting to wonder how early they'd be this year. I wonder if the whole migration will be early or if just the early birds will be even earlier? People are catching spanish and I've seen reports of water temps in the low to almost mid 60's. My grass almost needs cutting also... We'll know more soon if it's true because they'll start showing up at the piers. Anybody have any reports from the PC pier?

Whether its a true story or not, I have no doubt there are some cobes off the beaches somewhere right now.

Yall are taking this better than I expected.

A cobia report, in the Offshore Section, with COBIA in all caps, with no pics?????

Rooster, I'm scared for your life Your word is nothing in cobia season. In fact, most pictures are claimed to be from last year and if you showed up in person with one, you'd have to take a polygraph to see if it was caught within 2 hours of here or not......

Just so nobody gets a permanent ban from the PFF, I would suggest after landing a cobia, troll the beach very closely with the cobia hung from your tower until you had sufficient witness, including at least 3 judges, 1 Independent, 4 democrats, 1 preacher (not Baptist), Guy Harvey & at least two regional tv stations with live feeds. Then, you may get 90% acceptance.

Furthermore, I'm beginning to doubt your qualifications as a PFF member here. Really, you admitted rigging something wrong? Not one person on the PFF has EVER rigged anything wrong much less "lost" a fish.

There have been reports of long line releases, HUGE mako ripping world record fish to shreds right at the gunnel and strange, disc like craft stealing marlin as they leap from the water; but never "losing" a fish
