NOT AI, REPEAT NOT AI.  We’ve seen some interesting catches over the years, but this one takes it.  

Rob Reinert was wreck fishing on structure about 5 mile off Indian River with mullet when he hooked this 36.2 lb cubera snapper.  As far as I know, I’ve only heard of one other from our area, and it was speared off Ocean City a few years back. Awesome catch Rob!

Hank Correll was fishing in the old grounds when he hooked this 44”, 20.2lb cobia on a live eel. Awesome catch Hank!
