Dave Skok; professional fly tier, fisherman, photographer and all around hilarious guy from Massachussets once told a couple of us,  “I f---ing love fishing to tailing fish, if Cobia tailed, I’d f---ing fish to them all day long!”   Well, this is for you Skok!  It wasn’t tailing but it was a nice one.  Andy, from Urban Angler, got this 52 pound Cobia on a gaff fly...... not really, I think it was a pink popper.
