Cobia wrestling & Shrimp Po Boys

My first day back in the sunshine state baby ! I got the chance to fish my good friends Neil & Morgan Walker. I was really excited at the chance to get Morgan on her first tarpon. The day couldn't have been better and the fish where showing us some love. Big schools of jacks and a lot of big female tarpon where giving us some amazing shots in the emerald clear water. Morgan got two huge tarpon to eat but out of shear excitement are what we call " poon fever" set the hook a little too soon. Right about the time me a Neil where discussing shrimp Po boys a huge Ray came across  the flat with two nice Cobia. Ol bird dog Neil nailed the shot with a little trick casting and stuck the biggest one right off the back of the ray. After a good fight it was time to land him for a quick pic . I emptied my pockets and bailed in the warm gulf water to try to land a pretty green cobia.  With a quick leader grad and some fancy dirt road wrestling moves we had him . After some quick pictures  we released the beast and where on are way to get that shrimp po boy we had been talking about.  It's always great to be able to share some time on the water with old friends and good fishing just makes it that much better.
