GIANT Cobia in America's BEST Fishing Spot ! Catch Clean Cook (Sight Fishing Cobia) 

Ran into Brookie and Vic at a gas station in my neck of the woods. Went fishing later that night told my buddies and now it's a fishing story; should have got the picture! Nice meeting you guys though! Very friendly

Fishing out at sea is Definitely on the bucket list

Having grown up on the bay and caught some nice cobia since I was a little kid on up, I never realized how blessed I was to live here and fish it any time I wanted! Flounder, trout, reds, every year! Particularly the last two years the bay has been on FIRE with huge reds, cobia, and great trout. I’m glad that others are able to come experience it and hope it stays that way for years to come! Only wish the commercial guys would let us have our stripers back…

Oh man - You're in my neck of the wood! Next time do a fan meet and greet, you might be surprised on how many people might show up including me 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤. Thanks for the cobia recipe! Looks delish! Hoping to get a cobia on a kayak before the season ends! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺

Victor, you always use your platform to shine your light on others. You are awesome and God is blessing you

I've been watching you for awhile. Bought dexter knives and some jigs. The crazy thing to see you fishing with Andrew. He's a good guy and hard worker. So happy for you both.

So cool to see you come to my fishing spot! Thanks for making a great video showcasing our fishery.

So awesome to see you up here fishing in VA! Going out for Cobia on August 5th...can't wait

I still think millions of years ago cobia and remoras were closely related. Not only do they resemble each other….just the way that cobias hang out around big sharks and rays. I don’t know, just my opinion. Epic as always, Vik. Awesome vid!

Literally in my backyard 🎣🤙🏽

Can't wait to see you slay some Cobia on that 2850!

Outstanding video! So cool to see all those Cobia on the surface. Definitely a bucket list destination. Again, just such a cool video. Stay safe out there brother.

❤❤❤Victor does awesome narrating but those MAD COOKING SKILLS ALWAYS MAKE ME SO HUNGRY!!! ❤❤❤ FROM TENNESSEE

We were at the BBT last Wednesday the 3rd. Hooked a nice cobia between the 3rd and 4th island. Unfortunately we broke it off. Was my cousin's 59 b-day. His first ever hook up on one. He has fished the bay his whole life. We got the fever now and will be heading back soon. Awesome work Vic.

Andy should start his own RU-vid channel!!! Super charismatic!

Loved fishing with y’all! Come back anytime!!!!

Awesome to see you guys fishing my home spot!

"Its been slow...." Dude, you have no idea. I fish from Poquoson on a routine basis, and you guys had an EPIC day.

Looks great Chef Viktor ❤❤❤ 🎣🎣🎣

They are definitely a blast to catch. Nice job of getting after them on top. Informative video.👍👍

Victor bringing home the real bacon. Great job!

“You’ll have that on them big jobs” legend

July 2nd I was casting to them with a friend who is a Bay charter Capt. Cobia are one of my favorite fish to catch and eat. Their firm buttery meat is so versatile.

Great catch🎉

loved it victor

This is an AWESOME video bro!!!! Keep up the hard work!

Dude Big Andy the 🐐

giant monsters, they are huge. very pleasing to the eye

Love the vid love the cobia!

I’ll bet that was fun! Here’s to ya!

I did a seabass trip with Capt. Andrew last year. He really is a great fisherman and a really good guy. I have yet to get on a cobia myself but ive had them follow me and circle my kayak when I'm sheepshead fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. I never bring the appropriate tackle to fish for cobia

andy da man,vic you can fish an damn sure cook! resturarant time! good vid..staysafe..

The fish look very cool! They pretty much look identical to arapaimas, they have the head shape and mouth and the body of a flathead catfish. But nice job catching these awesome fish!

That cobia looks bomb af. Vic I think u knocked it out of the park. I'm jealous I'm not there for dinner. Great video man. Keep up the good work.

Great video

04:54, 13:29 after waiting for SOOOO LONG finally a catch-*KILL*-clean-cook video💪💪💪😍

Welcome to VA Vic! Love seeing these videos from our play ground. Glad you boys had a great trip. You picked a great year to come. Its been ridiculously good so far this season. We've realeased more big fish(over 50") than we ever have. The Chesapeake Bay can an amazing fishery if we just use our heads and protect what we love. Tight lines.

Awesome video brother!

Nice! Mr Brown !

All those sunglasses tans 😂

crazy that you were literally where I fish

Wow mantab brother🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great video, awesome camera work, thanks for posting! Try cobia collars for something extra, using more of the fish.

Victor is like only fans guy top charts. He’s so good at with edits and probably sends them to brooke 😂and I still click, silly me 😂

BAD ASS!!!!!!

Last year, my wife and I went down and fished with ADAM for all for two days and we had a blast. We caught everything just like you watch them on RU-vid. We caught the same stuff same action absolutely amazing and one of our goals was to go over and just meet Vic, but he was on one of his trips him and Brooke were traveling in the world. Maybe next time we’ll get to meet up with the MasterChef and fisherman❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

Greetings from Viêt Nam ❤❤❤

I like that caption

The bay is so good for cobia and if you ever want to catch big reds off beach or pier come down to the outer banks and fish a pier. The reds here are like no other

We used to get lots of big cobia in Pensacola bay, back in the day. Super cool video.

Another great video. I hope you went back out and shot a red drum video. I've caught them on the OBX on there way south. Lots of fun!

Nice u in my home town great place to fish va in the building great video my guy

Come on back up here Late August, and we can get you in the water spearfishing for them.

Star of the show was the camera shy poodle. I hope he got a plate too.😊

Good job,nice hookup..nice content.

3rd island great spot

Now you have to come back up in the winter and fish the migratory monster striped bass!

If that thumbnail is genuine, then I am insanely impressed.

So glad you finally dispatched a fish, honestly not doing that was a reason for me to stay away from you're channel cause I can't support that, dispatch, then ideally blead, but the knowck out is what really matters

My boy jdog “Jordan” glad y’all had a good day out there when were you up here ?

Victor, I grew up around the Bay Area and you can bet you will never see a bigger red drum from the lower Virginia Chesapeake Bay Area as well. Late summer had guys I knew catch up to 60lb fish. What you guys throwing at them? I know a lot of guys love to throw live eel at them. Cobia candy.

Literally down the road from me

It amazes me how many people don't bleed their fish. You have no idea what your missing not bleeding your fish. Doesn't matter what kind of fish. Fresh or salt water.

In VA the bay used to produce a few fish over 100lbs every year. Now 60lbs is big

Victor you should check out Joe VT Fishing out of Port Fourchon he's taking clients on trips with amazing looking catches with room for the whole family.

The bays and water ways used to be even better than they are now. That conservation matters a lot especially with the shellfish

You need to come fish in destin. We just had 2 guys catch 70plus lb cobia off the pier in okaloosa county.

Vic and Brooke where are you? Time for a video!!

Fishing up in the Big Bend of FLA on the flats with Cajun Thunder corks and pinfish strips for trout n Redfish ,,,, I had a huge Redfish blow up on my cork like it was a top water lure !! The Big Redfish attacked the cork about 5 times and finally ate my bait and then just stripped drag on my spinner with 12lb test until it broke me off !!! I was pissed !! About a hour later another Big Fish blows up on my cork again !! This time it was a Cobia and after a long battle in the light spinner I caught a 42in Cobia !!! One of my most epic days with 2 monster fish blowing up on my big orange Cajun Thunder cork like a Bass chasing a Top Water !!!

The head of those fish look kind of like a snakehead.

Caught a 63in in Jersey a few years back, most likely 2nd biggest in states history. Thing bull dogged me for nearly 2 hours on 30lb tackle. Weighed in at 87lbs.

I was watching an episode of declassified and I said I know this guy! Viktor are you showcased on any other TV shows?

you should come lake fishing for pike here in the Netherlands for some reason the pike here grow to monster size here in NL I think it has something to do with the myth that pike is a bad-eating fish which is BS it is a very good-eating fish but, you have to filet with extreme care because pike is a bony fish. what I do is soft (par) freeze the fish first, when the filet is cut because it par frozen the bones stick out of the meat, and with pliers, you can pull the bones out also de-skin a bit high leaving a bit of meat on the skin so you can then repeat the process of de-boning from the other side and if the meat defrosts then put it back in the freezer for 20 minutes. the end result is a salmon-like as far as looks go filet without any bones the meat is not fishy to taste and is more like cod than salmon in taste. back to size, dutch lake pike can reach a size of 5 feet to in rare cases even 6 feet the reason they get that big is the Dutch don't eat pike in other European countries it is more common to eat pike so in those countries they don't get to be monsters if you want to catch clean and eat monster pike come to the Netherlands! when I was 10 in 1984 someone in my neighborhood caught a 7-foot! pike! and my street all got pike chunks! that where bigger than my head!! it was at that point that my fascination with pike began.

Saiys my favorite part!! Then proceeds to go Rodney king on its ass!! Then gives the being compassionate putting it out of it’s misery speech lol I love it!! lol

First cobia i ever caught was accidental. It was inshore, on a 3500 reel while snapper fishing off a seawall. It spooled me so fast and hard that my reel was literally too hot to touch. I couldn't put my hand on the reel to stop the fish and turn it. I thought it was gonna take ALL my line but it stopped just before i got to the mono backing. I still remember that fight to this day. Probably one of my most memorable moments.

Come to raritan bay area in the fall for the striper run trust me it will blow your mind

Hey Victor welcome to my neighborhood bro.. 👍

I'm surprised you still don't do ikejime, shinkeijime to make the fish taste better. Also the large mesh net is splitting the fish's tail.

Gawd you guys never heard of Pensacola, eh? nice

I was there

🙏

Did he just say two fish that we don’t see much in Florida? Huh? What?! COBIA AND REDFISH!!!!?!?!!? I must live in a different Florida or something idk

Any ideas why the bottom fishing in South Florida isn’t great right now, and why the bottom water column is so cold? Lack of storms?

Great stuff...😮😮😮But I must say when the guy hit the second fish on its head...😮😮😮my pressure spiked cos the other guy bend over forward whilst the guy with the base ball bat was abt to hit his third strike...😮😢😢😢😮

what drone do you use and how do you land the drone on the boat so it is safe. thx victor greetings from Indonesia

Saw the title and instantly went to thoughts of OBX

would love to fish for cobia, i've only seen it once irl up here in RI another boat hooked up to one don't know how common they are up here

In the panhandle of Florida (Panama city to orange beach Al) was the best place to catch Cobia, over fishing and tournaments have made them extinct, from seeing 100-200 fish a day in the 90’s-2010 to seeing absolutely none nowadays , There are no more tournaments or a migration now.

I like to know do y'all catch and clean and cook Sailfish if so can you tell me what video to lookup.

The amount of cobia that you cooked, what percentage was it of one of the fish that you caught? 25%?

what reel size is he using catching the 1st cobia?

If you pulled a dingy behind the boat, you'd have 2 boats and could harvest 4 fish! 2 fish, one for each client, seems like a low limit... most people don't want to fish alone to be able to keep 2; and there is the expense of the charter (and air flight to get to the area).

That Cobia they highlighted at 20 or 21 min in was gone! They don't stop moving. Remove barbs if you're continuing fishing for the species.

👍🙏

I live on the bay! wouldn't trade it for any fishery

That is the biggest Cobia I’ve ever seen. I see them now & then in schools around jetties but nine are that big but the biggest is still pretty big. They seem to not be interested in anything I throw at them. The thing about fishing in the ocean is you never know what you are going to catch or how big. Just the other day I was fishing with squid in a kelp bed & I hooked up to something big it came up in the kelp bed but I couldn’t see what it was because it took off & just ran & my bad I wasn’t paying attention & I went to tighten the drag & it spooled me I thought it broke me off till I looked a saw I had know line. But whatever it was it would’ve broke me off had I tightened the drag I had 30lb braided line but the jetty rocks just chewy up your line leaving weak spots.

The change of habit during the spawning cycle seems to be pretty different. Do you have any other fish with this habit change during the spawn? Cobia on the surface I would like to cast for them with a #10 or #11 fly rod! If they can catch Sailfish on a fly rod, why not a Cobia?

I got a 93 lbser in pcb 2016

Kinda like a snakehead

i hooked one from the pier and it broke 80lb line and used two thirds of my spool.
