Prospector Bob's 4th. annul fishing trip to Texas

[Cobia]

Everything went well for a change.....got a limit of trout (10 apiece) and 2 red fish.  Great day on the water !!

We did have a good trip despite some events that tried to put a damper on the good times. With enough beer & a good attitude, even when crap happens, you just shrug it off & stumble ahead. 

That 40lb King Cobia caught was done with a monofilament leader instead of the normal wire leaders used for Kings. They have lots of razor sharp teeth that will cut monofilament in a flash. This is a real accomplishment for a fisherman.

I caught two Kings that trip, one at 35lbs & one near 30lbs. I caught one about 15lbs on an earlier trip. I also caught a Blacktip Shark. I don't know the measurements or weight 'cause we released it without bringing it on the boat. I did get a good look at it as the boat captain removed the hook. My estimate... 4ft long & about 30 to 35lbs. It had an impressive set of choppers in its mouth... lots of little daggers.

Yeah it was a lot of fun even with all the break downs.  We caught some big fish and had a brew or two and got to hang out and visit.
