Catching 53lb COBIA on a SEA-DOO!

-Season 3: Episode 20-
I have been after a Citation Cobia from a PWC for 9yrs now... since I caught my very first Cobia ever. I just recently got the ‪@Seadoo‬ FishPro Sport, so decided to take my friend Jason Forrest on a Dual Sea-Doo mission for Cobia. What a success it was! Hope yall enjoy the epic fight I had with this fish, and the 3 others I caught. So grateful to check that off the bucket list.

Finally checked off a bucket list fish!! Citation Cobia on the Sea-Doo!

[@haydendavis2477]

How shallow do you take yours?

[@brettbarley]

@@haydendavis2477 I'll drift it through a foot of water while casting, but wont run it in less than a foot of water unless I HAVE to bolt accross a shoal to get to deeper water. mostly fish in 2' and deeper...

[@jhill6033]

Forgive my ignorance but I only get to fish salt water here and there but is it not legal to just cut that fish in half so that it fit better in one cooler bag?

[@davinakers9898]

What an absolute epic day!!!!! So many memories were made that day for sure!!! Shot of blood to the dome, shark bite on the old jammer, citation nation!!!!!!!! What a blessed day and amazing video as always!!!! Keep 'em coming!!!!! Cobia City!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🏝🏝🏝🎣🎣🎣🫡🫡🫡🙏🙏

[@RyanAndrews-ys2lo]

Brett, you've hit that fish with the donger like a girl...if I ever get mucked by someone, I hope it's by you 😁🤣 Nice fish at the end of the saga!

[@1CharlieEcho]

So glad I found you.

[@visionhomesjetskiadventure2302]

Solid Cobias!!!

[@matthewfishes6683]

This is awesome. I recently just got a sea doo fish pro sport and I will be bringing it down their 4th of July around that time Sea doos are a do it all vessel. Love the fishing videos and keep up the great work.

[@brettbarley]

love how versatile they are

[@redman42s7]

Heck ya man ! Beautiful cobi! What a sick setup for a seadoo , living vicariously through you # envious haha!.. ,thanks!

[@chazbickel4518]

Awesome day out there! I got interested in PWC fishing after watching one of your videos a couple of years ago. You were on a big school of reds, reeling them in. I was hooked. I like these fishing videos just as much as your surfing Brett. You are a great ambassador for Sea doo. Wishing you and your family a fun summer! That was a Cobia!!!!! Yeeeeeeeew!!!!!

[@brettbarley]

its good fun for sure! can get tricky, but so special when you pull it off.

[@marshallsoutdooradventures]

Great video, can’t wait to get my Sea Doo fish pro in. 9 months and counting. Hopefully Sea Doo steps up its delivery game. Keep up the great vids.

[@alltree78]

When VA cut their Cobia limits in half it was a game changer. It pissed alot of people off but it has payed off already. The Virginia, Carolina coast is becoming the best in the world for Cobia.

[@brettbarley]

We've actually had worse years the last 3-4yrs off Hatteras than we use to.

[@alltree78]

Has been better than ever in the bay the last year. Guys are saying there seeing more fish coming up from Carolina this year and bigger groups then they have in a while

[@brettbarley]

Awesome to hear. I’m speaking more specifically Hatteras inlet… buxton towards Ocracoke. Seems there’s a larger influx hitting Oregon inlet north, than there is down our way.

[@texasrider5621]

That is some good eating fish too

[@allenturner8476]

That was a good video!!

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Congrats on the Cobia Brett. Awesome video. Also loved Brett >4 and Jason >0 😂. Or actually Jason -1 since he false hooked a shark. I’m sure he will slay them next time as he is a quick study.

[@joefinley62]

Epic video! Keep it up! Enjoy the fishing videos!

[@brantsarkela3189]

Wow what a slob ! 53lbs Sick catch. 🤙🏻

[@brettbarley]

Thanks! So pumped

[@StickmanznGaming]

This is why I bought a fishing ski would love to do some fishing like this I live in south Florida so if there are any people in here that would like to do some fishing I would love to join.

[@TheRiderdiver]

Hi. Great video!Where did you get those cooler bags? What I have is to tick and heavy. Thanks.

[@TheRiderdiver]

Great Video. Would you able to tell use where can we get the fish cooler u used? Ours too heavy and thick. Thanks.

[@thudtrades1850]

Ol' TinkTink... Nice!

[@dekakeru]

Great 🎉

[@beachthor1]

Wild to think about if this thing broke down. Guys out here in Oregon go dozens of miles off coast in PWCs for tuna. Great fish!!

[@aarona222]

Never go along I guess. Lol

[@jdoe265]

Screaming by the Bonner bridge.

[@mitchellgreen1451]

Was this Memorial Day? I was kayak fishing the jughandle bridge that day and thought I saw a couple of fishing jet skis heading back to the rodanthe ramp. Now I want one lol

[@anthonyeconomides1722]

Nice fish but need to organised properly...Move ur cooler back end and put fish bag in front easy to grab it(no need extra fuel tank). Also try bang on the fish head take care to ur jet ski sound like u hit the craft and fish head.I don't need to bang on fish head,I use spike tool just poke in fish head rather than try to bang and could damage the ski if miss it

[@ronparr6799]

Nice catch. Too bad you cant put in at OIFC

[@brettbarley]

I know… for fish and waves sake

[@FishOnWithDashawn]

Loved the videos! How’d you set your 360 camera up for that angle? I tried putting it in the rod hold but it was very sketchy lol

[@brettbarley]

So I have it on a PVC pole that’s shoved in rod holder with a rag around it to hold it in. But first go round 2yrs ago, I lost a camera in a 15mile run in choppy water. So then I made another pole that has a bolt through it at the bottom, I insert the bolt after putting the pole in the rod holder, so it can’t come out now. As added security I tie it off to the cooler as well… but I’ve never had a rod holder unhook.

[@FishOnWithDashawn]

@@brettbarley thanks man! If you are ever in Florida and want someone else to go fishing with hmu!!!

[@Republicanfella]

What camera are you using?

[@MrRefa3ee]

Great footage 👏🏻 What kind of fish bag did you use?

[@haydendavis2477]

Yewwww! Want a ski for this so bad

[@mattorendorff8858]

Can’t recommend the remote for the GoPro enough. I run the Max as well in a Hobie and it’s clutch. Mounted to my PFD.

[@brettbarley]

problem with that is going 2hrs without seeing a fish and then battery being shot before I hit record. But on shorter sight fishing missions, I agree, the remote is clutch.

[@mattorendorff8858]

@@brettbarley Ahhh- right. I carry 3 extra batteries in my box and swap em. But I get it - it’s 6 of one and half dozen the other like so many things with tech and fishing. Nice catch. Slob snakes like that are great fun.

Hey Brett my name is Captain Ryan . I’ve lived here on the Outerbanx for 12 years and grew up on Long Beach island NJ. I’m familiar with Ben gravy and like yours and his love seeing the breaks I’ve surfed my whole life . Thanx for the content . And if your up in Kill Devil Hills . Please stop in to my coffee and Icecream shop Higher Grounds i would love for you and your family to try some of our delicious treats on me. #Higher Grounds OBX, #COBIA,#OBX,# life is great

[@s.k7770]

Awesome! What would you have done if you didn’t have the gaff? I want to go out on my Sea-Doo and would love to target some big fish but a little worried about getting them on as I only have a net currently

[@brettbarley]

Net it… but it wouldn’t have gone well cause I don’t have a big enough one. They make massive nets for these fish

[@lorincoefieldjr3783]

Great Catch!!! Did you film it with your GoPro Hero 10 Black ? How do you have it mounted to your FishPro?

[@lorincoefieldjr3783]

I see, I caught a view of it at the end of your video.

[@brettbarley]

Yes the GoPro MAX 360 cam

[@Charles-bd5qi]

Hi mate, how far offshore did you go?

[@brettbarley]

Cobia fishing all done nearshore. No more than 1-1.5mi out usually. Often close to shore

[@christianrm874]

Hey mate what kind of lures are those?

[@brettbarley]

Bowed Up lures... they are 2oz Bucktails

[@christianrm874]

@@brettbarley they do some serious damage!

[@nerminmujezinovic4901]

Or purchase remote for GoPro

[@emersonvestal]

Is that the 800 dollar sea doo cooler with the rod holders? If so, are the rod holders that are on the cooler strong enough for trolling?

[@brettbarley]

Yes it’s their cooler. I’ve used them for trolling no problem, and constant rough rides. Check out @ibelongoutdoors… Emmanuel used em trolling heavy gear

[@theowenssailingdiary5239]

Your mad mate does realise they steer from the rear? Twice he did it..

[@brettbarley]

he knows very well how to drive a PWC... not sure what you are referring to.

[@marketopen3577]

or you can get a boat sponsor instead of a jetski sponsor, that would be way more comfortable don't you think?

[@brettbarley]

the Sea-Doo is way more versatile though.... If I wasn't surfing, I could fish days in the ocean when boats couldnt. I can go offshore, and I can drift grass flats... it's pretty rad. plus for sake of time constraints, when the weather is nice I can strike so fast to spots and get home quick, it's clutch for run-n-gun days.

[@fletcherwhittle9240]

Do you usually look for Cobia swimming or do you look for them in and near nearshore or offshore Baitballs?

[@brettbarley]

ya they are migrating, so we just look for them free swimming.

[@YSIDROmartinez-o3z]

please, don't show hiting the fish, for the children, good catch

[@brettbarley]

It’s part of the process… it’s for safety (so the fish can’t hurt me) and to knock the fish out so you can bleed it quicker, and it doesn’t suffer. It’s more humane. Kids need to learn these things as part of life… where food comes from is part of it. Wouldn’t do/show anything my own kids wouldn’t see or participate in.

DUDE! HE's Tank! "Intro music and scene! Bull SH**T!

Brett ,why are you showing us all this ridiculous fishing crap. We want some training advice. show us how you stay so fit and sexy !

[@brettbarley]

I dont train haha I stretch maybe 15-20min a day when I'm in a rhythm, and thats about it... and fishing is amazing haha. just as exciting as scoring incredible waves.

[@brettbarley]

@@jeffg4686 saying things are bunk, just cause you dont do them, is actually bunk...

[@procaliadventures]

Epic, I went out on a fish pro in Rosario Baja pounding beach break , it was the first time so I thought the dudes from the dealer ship strapped everything the correct way…. Not, when I was near the pier rock I was gonna fish I realized that the cooler with rod holders and rods was gone!!!!! Tham thing got blasted off by a wave on the way out , went back and recovered the cooler minus 2 rods and reels, ouch. Gota get back to it, there are huge schools of 100-200 lbs bluefin pretty close to shore, that would make a killer expedition and video. Best regards.

[@brettbarley]

dang thats a bummer, but hopefully you recovered most of your gear. ya, I always double and triple check everything is latched down right before I launch. never hurts to be extra sure. a Bluefin tuna from the sea-doo is on my bucket list no doubt! maybe some day. that's epic you got on em!

[@kookiemonster3261]

Ring a ding monster Ling .nice work.

[@juanchaves2971]

Bro that was a totally rad fish!!! Some channels have amazing surfers, some channels have amazing fishermen...Then there is your channel!

Pretty work! Beautiful Gaff job

[@highcj5733]

Awesome day. You slayed them. Are you still liking the tsunami rods/reels?

[@brettbarley]

Yes loving them. 2.5yrs of getting put through the ringer… the Shields from that long ago are a bit worn but the others are good. The SaltX is amazing for fish this size. And the Evict is my go-to

[@xaviergordon4169]

So not stable enough to stand on one side, to bad.

[@brettbarley]

Just not necessarily comfortable to stand on one side… you can though. At 164lbs there’s no where I can stand that would flip it.

[@xaviergordon4169]

That's nice to hear, I just always saw you standing on both sides. I weigh 200 lbs so maybe to heavy to stand on 1 side.

[@brettbarley]

No you’re not too heavy… it’s just more comfortable to have 1 leg on each side due to the width of the foot wells. Standing on one side requires your feet both pointed towards bow or stern which isn’t great. You can walk all around it with zero worries of it flipping.

[@jonahwomble58]

So Sick!! That looks like so much fun

[@jeffg4686]

Brett, I've got your next cause. I knew you needed something useful to do. Well, without further ado: No Chum ! That's right, no chum it is. Piers/jetties, shoreline, boats near reef breaks. that's what gets the sharks all riled up. Pretty sure that's what got the couple in Avon, and likely the girl who got attacked at Flagler pier (but survived). Have a porpoise, won't you?

[@brettbarley]

very confused by what you're getting at here...

[@jeffg4686]

@@brettbarley - Get the fishermen to stop using chum around surfing areas ... By law. Start the campaign to get people talking. Talk to county commissioners. Get going Brett. You can do it. We're counting on you! Maybe at the state level would make things easier. 5 states as I see it. Florida, NC, California, Hawaii, New Jersey Those are the main ones we need it in here in USA.

Super film !! Thanks for posting! (I’m curious, was that was from an Insta360X2 ? And if so, how do you get the Horizon straight ?😱😂)

This was shot on GoPro Max. It auto levels the horizon but it takes hours and hours of editing to make the footage look the way it did. Effort is worth the final product
