This was one of those days where we got great fish! For whatever reason the client tried to set the hook on a circle hook as if the cobia was going west but the fish had circled around and under the boat wrapping the anchor line and was actually going east! So imagine that while hooked into a 60 lb cobia! Not good! we went 0-3 on great fish! We pinged a 10+lb permit 19 fork length right when we got there! Those are great fish and it was in the boat!! That in itself should have made the trip! Not so much! Sometimes it is like that! We got a couple of 11-12 inch mangrove snapper and a few trout to go home! Nice bag of fish for sure! Some times I wish the clients would leave happy they had the chance at greatness… in this case they actually achieved greatness on a light tackle permit in February! Nice going guys! I know for a fact you did great that day! Oh! I forgot they hooked and jumped a 10+ lb tarpon! What are you going to do!
