[cool] Check this out. I use a standered 3 hook float fishing rig with a live menhaden when I king mackeral fish from a pier. We hadn't had a bite all day. It was late in the afternoon, and I was fixing to leave when I heard my reel click like 4 or 5 times; then it just stopped. I thought it was kind of strange, so I walked over to inspect. I figured maybe the darn bait just got pissed and yanked the line out a little bit. I got there and my fighting line was unattached from my anchor line, and when I tried to reel it in, I could feel the pressure on the other end. I looked down and there sat 3 cobia's in the water, one on each hook! we netted them, and had to throw them back. They were like 1 or 2 inches too short. No lie though, 3 cobia's at one time on Myrtle Beach State Park Pier.

[font "Arial"][size 2]Wow! You achieve something that most will never do. [/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 2]Cobia swims in school sometimes but the odds are you will never do it again. Would be something to see you should have got a photo of it.[/size][/font]
