- We took a trip down to Virginia to try our luck at the Cobia with Finao Sportfishing, cruised around the bay looking for surface cruising fish and ended up boating a couple decent fish. We saw a lot of fish that wouldn't bite and others that spooked, but overall it was a good time learning the ways of the cobia.

See the great part about a fishing channel like this is that you dont have to hear anyone in the comments bitching and whining about clubbing the fish over the head to kill it 😅
Exactly. And it's more humane than simply throwing it in the cooler to die slowly so it's a moot point regardless.
Oh yeah!!! Congrats on the Cobia! I know you have been chasing them for a while. And knowing you, I know you want a bigger one. Hahaha. Good luck!
yes indeed I am not satisfied, going to keep the cobia quest my top priority the rest of the summer haha
Im 13 and I caught my first cobia this summer the same way. He was 48 inches and 38 pounds it took me 20 minutes to get him in. It was one of the best days of my life!
How is it you fished without polaroids for so long?
I think you're going to be amazed at the stuff you will see now.
i love your videos
haha I never realized there was such a thing as the polarized clips, always figured I needed to spend 400$ on some prescription polarized, it was long overdue

You can buy cheap wrap around polaroid sunnies for $20, better than nothing.

hi again :P
barehanded eel hooking. 1:50 in already amazed
Got hungry when you were fighting your cobia... then got more hungry when I saw your sandwich. LMAO Nice Job Chris!!
Dam Now I wish I went down to try in the kayaks. The fillets kinda look like striped bass fillets.
I went on a charter out on the Chesapeake a few weeks ago. Most people fish for Stripers on the Bay, but we decided to go for perch. Caught tons. It was great
nice sounds fun!
Fredrick is a little more than a little town
I was thinking the same. Thomas Johnson patriot right here!
Wonder if he meant Prince Frederick in Calvert.
compared to Philly, Fredrick is small. But yea, I'd say more than a small town.
yea youre right I didnt realized it was as big as it is
Dude, he's from Philly. Haha. I'm originally from Cumberland and I even think of Frederick as a little town.
Awesome video. I got admit I'm a little jealous! Lol. Hey what kind of reels were those? The gold ones y'all were using.
Congratulations man! I know you've been wanting to get some for a while, how was the fight? I bet those things are hella strong!
theyre strong, oh yea, I am happy to have experienced some cobia and cobia fishing however I wasn't able to hook/land one myself which has left me wanting to try again even more... I'll be trying to get back down there at least a couple more times before they migrate too far south
+Sea-Money Fishing Yeah, I noticed you weren't as excited as I thought you'd be once he handed you the rod, and I figured it was because you weren't able to hook them yourself. I did watch a video from a couple days ago of someone getting some cobia off the concrete pillars at chesapeake bay bridge tunnel on a kayak... So at least they are running down there, might be worth the trip for you to take the chance.
Which model Ugly Stick Tiger is that ???? I have a few...... Please.
I feel your pain. I went 0-18 sight casting them on my trip where I was on my own to hook one. Fail city. Ended up salvaging the day by getting two citation red drum to eat, but that was like shooting fish in a barrel (giant school right on top.)
on the bucktail! We never got an eel on them.
damn, yea it takes some practice, big gluttonous bull reds sounds awesome tho haha I bet that was really cool
We got lucky- got the call on the radio from other guys who were bailing them on fly rods. I managed a 47 pounder off on an OBX pier on a live bluefish at the end of June, but nothing beats watching them eat a sight casted bucktail
Let us know how much hey taste, they would be fun in the Yak!
Great Video. Be careful including footage of actually killing the fish though. Seasoned fishermen won't care but all the hippie googans could start a fire storm over something like that. (IE: Johnny Bucktails, but his was much worse cause it was illegal.)
Hey I live in Frederick! Lol great vid!
Your videos are money. There's much to say, but thanks a million for what you have posted, Kayaks and all going after Keepers. These are thoughtful, inspiring and uplifting, and I wish you the best in your future.
How do the wallgreens clip ons work? The walmat ones suck you cant see shit in the water with them.
you might want to try a pair of cocoons sunglasses. They fit over your prescription glasses and they have side guards. Great for bright sunlight on the water and on the beaches. $50.00 worth every penny.
Good stuff
I stared 2 a days about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I was running a 7 and we had to catch the ball in a cradle hold or whatever, and I missed it but before I missed it I put one hand up and it hit my hand I missed the ball but the ball had it my pinky finger directly. I had to have my doctor set it back with a pen.
awesome cobia
Why does the skipper keep the boat moving when a fish is hooked? wouldn't it be better to be stay still while the fish is caught rather than going round in circles, nice fish tho... 😜
is the cobia fishing hot right now?
Do these guys have like a website or something? I live near the Bay in VA and wouldn't mind going out with them one day
I just added it to the description, yea hes a busy captain and is usually booked solid all summer but thats how you know he's good, definitely look into it!
Are there any waterfront live bait shops on or near Chesapeake Bay? Taking my boat out this weekend!
What size of spinfisher you guys using and what is the spec on ugly stick tnx and nice 👍 video
Why didn't you say the name of the person you caught the 30incher with brotha ??
thought you measured from the bottom of the tail for fork tails, not the tip of the tail. you might of done that wrong there
u should go to Michigan and go spotted gar fishing
I did the same charter I caught a 60 pounder a 54 pounder and a 45 pounder love the channel
I know people love to eat fish but it breaks my hart to see a helpless fish get bashed in the head
It looks rough but it's actually one of the more humane ways to kill a fish
Ano like he could have turned off the camera ano ppl like to eat fish but some ppl don't like to see it
if you think about when you get hit super hard it takes you a moment to realize how bad it hurt(i used to box i would know) the fish probably died before it could process what happened hopefully that gives you some comfort
+Atheox ok thnx I don't know a lot about fishing and didn't know what a cobia was
Fred Neck is a small town!!! Keep the Cobia coming gents!
what kind of boat is that
My boat is in the same marina as Finao's boat. He's great at putting people on cobia
Dude awesome video! and so weird I was born in Frederick Maryland haha
Nice chemtrails in the sky !
I caught a 18 pound alligator gar today
Caught a shitload of them this past summer in Hughsville, VA
Drop some ice in your live well. The cold water will slow the eels down a bit.
Whats with scarf over the face thing, you dont want the fish to identify !
make a video where you cook them! the triggerfish vid was awesome.
What size hook were yall using for casting the eels? Thanks
Why do you run the boat in circles while waiting to net the fish?
Hello excellent videos, greetings from Ecuador.
Cobia!!! I also saw Joe (ComeOnFish) caught one recently from kayak. I might need to get down there soon. I live off 95 in Woodbridge so CBBT isn't too bad of a drive
from the kayak it is so much harder, not being able to sight cast them from the tower, I saw comonfish's video, he is the man haha, but yea they are down there, seems like anywhere in the lower chessie or ocean front could be really good on any given day, but theyre very elusive fish, the guys who captain these trips are putting in a ton of miles and hours to get on them, this day we had would be a slow day for down there, I think whenever I fish with my buddy Bill we always have a slow day because we are cursed haha
+Sea-Money Fishing must be so hard to find them. It seems like a good year for them too!
awesome video!! wish I had your email so I can send ya a pic of the cobia my buddy caught, 61 inchs 80 lbs. citation for here in VA, off sandbridge pier
thats awesome I have fished that pier before, its crazy they catch these things from shore, makes me hate living in Philadelphia and fishing NJ haha
+Sea-Money Fishing hey man next time your in VA remember my channel and hmu, I fish the bay, rudee inlet, all of va beach area and so forth. I'm like 30-45 mins from the bay bridge
Austin is a great captain. Great summer for Cobia.
@Sea-Money Fishing How'd that thing taste?
Ha! I'm in Frederick. Not so little.
Didnt know ya'll got cobia up that far north.
Man why can't I remember the name of that song....
cook those bad boys and show cobia mmmmmmmmm homer drool lol
Do some fishing off the bay in jersey, on some docs
Cobia. Yum..Yum! Haven't caught one of those yet. Good job man.
NICE!!! Cobia are a lot of fun!
Where can I find eels for bait in Maryland?
Nice catch man. Who did you all charter?
What is the type of yellow fishing rod?
can I ask with what's with your buddys fit like why is he wearing that mask/handkerchief ?
Anthony Cullinane Sun protection
do them little clip on polarized thing actually work. I was thinkin about pickin up a pair.
They do.
Finao Is fu*KING ... well KING!!!
hey chris, I'm planning on doing some surf fishing for browns this weekend and i have some leftover bunker thats frozen from a few weeks ago. When i bought it they said it was fresh frozen. Anyways, do you think i could still have success with this old bunker?
it should work if they're around but there are better alternatives.
TJ is right, its better than nothing and will definitely work but the fresher the better. With frozen, a lot of times the meat turns to mush real quick, the head chunks would probably be your best bet, definitely worth a try though!
This is the guy that see "Mang"...a wantabe
get some gar in man. killer vids esay.
what editing software do you use?
my dad caught a 60 pounder from shore I can't remember what we caught it on
nice, thats the dream!
Hey Sea-Money, why don't you take beef jerky out with ya? Every time I go out I have beef jerky and water. Never get hungry and doesn't take up room in ya box.
sometimes I do! 7$ a bag though, I could eat 3 or 5 bags of it haha, gets expensive, usually I just dont eat then binge at the end of the day haha
That is true, it is expensive. Love your vid's, keep up the great work bud
You should go Halibut fishing in Alaska I'm going this weekend
CrazyAlaskan72 I went there when I was 9 and caught my limit about 10 miles off the harbor in Homer :)
I like when u go out for fishing trips like this, it looks entertaining... I love your vids btw
Sure let's poke the fish in the eye before measuring to see if it's the right size? Great work guys!
Where are you coming from? PA?
Nice video man like always.😄
I love fishing the Chesapeake
You should striper fish in lakes is way more challenging
lol i dont think so, Its definitely different, but not harder.
Well unless you know what you are doing your better of in the ocean but if you know what your doing it is easy
Austin A you just live rig a nice size shiner off of a big float or small balloon in the evening lol.
Bang bang, striper on.
Cobia taste good?
it was pretty good, yea! kind of like eating swordfish or something.. thick white meat, but yes very tasty.
I didn't know people ate them
Hey. Having see you for a year. Thanks for report cobia
Do they bite good in April?
nice video
Aren't Cobia a fish that is sometimes seen swimming by the belly of whales, Whale Sharks and other large sharks like Great White's ? I know Wrasse do this too, because they are the cleaning fish too.
Caught them off manta rays in the gulf
Mark Beggs Fishing That's what it is. I was watching another fisherman sight fishing for them, and they would wait until they would see a ray and try to cast near it or behind the ray, and they usually caught a Cobia. Thanks, I was trying to remember that.
DeadlyUnited Thanks for the info, you are right about the remora attaching itself to larger animals like rays, whales, sharks etc., but the cobia is known to follow behind rays to scavenge -- I just wiki'd it. -- and I guess this is why fisherman try to find rays to cast their lines near or behind them, because they know there's probably Cobia behind it. I saw a video a while ago when they were catching Cobia this way and us talking about it just refreshed my tired memory. Cheers
I m happy you finally got a cobia was tired of hearing about them lol
do you catch your fresh bunker when you target browns or do you buy it if so do you know where i could buy some fresh bunker near ac?
I usually buy it, although by this time of year it is tough to find as most shops only carry frozen, however, try giving 24/7 bait and tackle a call and see if they have anything fresh. bunker is good but any other fresh fish is just as good, 24/7 is prob your best bet. Also you should be able to find some kingfish around the inlet or beaches or even backbays there in AC, small hooks and little pieces of clams/bloods can get you the freshest bait around (kingfish). Croaker, spot, and every fish you can get is good bait for sharks. Riptide bait and tackle in Brigantine def has frozen mackerel which isn't bad, I have seen some large sharks taken on frozen mackerel recently
+Sea-Money Fishing thanks for the great advice, will put it to good use!
Wait. Do you guys eat the Cobia
Really tasty, one of the best eating-fish.
+kapliger ok
no sabeis ni pescar ni coger un pez con una red
FredCo baby
sea money reply to me plz
great channel man
I live in Frederick Md
Great job a that fish
I live in Pennsylvania
fucking finesse
i kinda think it would be a good idea for cobia charters to carry a 22 pistol and shoot the cobia when they get it to the boat and thats just and idea
cost more
Yep I think it would be a lot easier to do that haha
+Vincent Castellano 22 ammo is not expensive dude
You finally got one. Me, I'm still trying. Congrats Chris!
thanks man, Im going back down soon to try again, I want to catch one on my own gear haha
+Sea-Money Fishing i hear you man! Taking a charter isn't the same as doing it yourself. I'm going back to Costa Rica for vacation last time I was there I caught a rooster fish on a charter but this time I'm bringing my own gear and trying to catch one myself! Good luck and tight lines Chris!
I love fishing
Another great video. This is helping me get through packing for a two week fishing vacation in Florida. It's gonna be sweet.
A helpful tip is to use flair Hawks in Florida. They catch big snook and redfish.
its man not mang
nice domo hat
awesome video
that was sick
