Finally got my first legal Cobia caught on a Bowed Up Squid Jig called "The Joker" at Avalon Pier in Kill Devil hills. He weighed 36.5lbs and whooped my tail! I was using a 6500 Spinfisher V on a 9' Century Kevlar Nor Easter. We had one hit the pin rig and it easily went over 60lbs. Ended up spitting the hooks about 10 min into the fight. 3 more were landed that afternoon, also on Bowed Up Cobia Jigs. 4 total for the day but we probably saw at least 20-30 cobia on rays and on top of the water. I highly recommend these jigs, they are holographic UV blasted for maximum visibility. I get all mine from thier online site Boweduplures.com
Tight lines,
