49.5kg cobia

[Shimanobwoie]

Not to sure the whole story but will find out more today. A commercial mate of mine took some spearos out for a quick spear yesterday. Around 12 they rang us on the water and said they just got a 55kg cobia at hutchies. They weighed it at the club yesterday and she tipped the scales at 49.5kg a new australian record and 3kgs off the world record.

What a great captuure. I am yet to get a cobia but havent really had the chance to target them yet. I would be happy with just a cobia let alone something of that size

Mate that sounds like a great catch, would love to see a pic if you get a chance

Thanks for the update bro

That almost weighs as much as my mrs. WOW - What a catch. That wouldda been awesome fun to spear..

I havent spear fished for many many years, im guessin they used a gun and a rope? Ahh the fun that would have been.

Congrats to the dude/s that got it and thanks for sharing.

Great catch mate.
