12 Fathom lump out of IRI, DE

[fishforever]

Took a friends 20fter out of Indian River and headed towards lightship. Green water there so we headed out to the 12F lump. A few bluefish biteoffs then the WWB starts going off. 20 minutes later a 42lb Cobia hit the decks to pop the cherry on my friends new boat. 42lb is not anything big in the cobia world from what I have heard but for Delaware it is a very unusual catch. Only one other has been brought in to IRI in the last few years. Fish bit short an Eyecatcher predator then hit a blue/white islander behind a bird.
