Sight Fishing GIANT Cobia on Bridges and Rays in Virginia

In this episode of BlacktipH, I fly up to Virginia in search of one of my favorite fish to catch, giant cobia! I met up at the marina with my good buddies Austin and Steve from FINAO Sportfishing Charters. We loaded up the rods, reels and camera gear and then we headed out to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The first day began with Preston and I doubling up on smaller cobia. Preston landed his while mine popped off right alongside the boat. We spent the whole day running up and down the bridge, gazing at each pylon along the way, in hopes for a massive cobia. After seeing cobia and losing cobia throughout the day we decided to wrap it and get some sleep for tomorrow. On Day Two, we decided to fish the open water in search of rays in the ocean. Right away, Preston spotted a giant cobia just off the bow of the boat. He ran to the front, made his cast and set hook into the fish! The fish shook his head violently, then thrashed enough until the hook broke off. Both of us were devastated but we continued on with our day and decided to put the drone up. We spotted many other fish on the drone, but they didn't eat. On Day Three, we started off fishing at the bridge. Austin spotted a giant cobia and I pitched a bait at it. Immediately, the fish inhaled the eel and the fight was on! After a long fight, Stephen netted the fish and brought it into the boat! Virginia was awesome and I can't thank Austin and Steve enough for showing us what their waters have to offer. We arrived back at the dock with some good dinner, and our heads held high. We accomplished what we came up to Virginia for, to catch giant cobias!

[@YakinwithJack]

Props on letting that big momma go 🤙🏾

[@RadReelingFishing]

Excellent video! I love fighting big fish near structure like that. It's a giant brawl when the drag is locked down. Thanks for making this adventure Josh.

[@adamholston3686]

I see Austin and Steve almost every time i go out

[@worleysoutdooradventure8737]

[@rsarbaine]

My grandparents used to take me and my brother to that bridge to fish when I was a boy. Croakers, mostly. I never got to fish for anything like cobia, too young, but I'll make it there some day. Cool video.

[@spencerchase8328]

[@davisbennett4498]

zTeddii YT 😬

[@dwipurnawirawan4213]

i love your rod fishing

[@adamstevens3661]

4:43 hooks monster josh proceeds to cast OVER his line. Preston does his best to keep the ling under control. Their rods begin hitting. Josh finally reels in and realizes to get out of the way tells preston to "come over here" bit its too late ling breaks off. The look preston gives josh sums it all up.

[@RobertJ255]

Welcome to my town!!!

[@mikeyb3880]

Yew. I grew up fishing the CBBT. Right out of that same marina.

[@jeremykusturin2843]

Nice fish man! 3 days of grinding. hope there still out there

[@robbyatwood7734]

Next summer you should go for Tarpon on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. They’re pretty rare and hard to catch but I think you’re up to the challenge.

[@HarpertheSage]

It makes me genuinely happy you let the big one go. The cobia here get that big because of people like FINAO.

[@SuperQdaddy]

Super fishin boyz

[@anabellehanchey7186]

My name is also Preston.congrats on the baby boy

[@deek6450]

So happy I'm moving to Norfolk to fish these beast

[@joedarden2276]

Ya Man.!!!!!! That's Fishing.!!!!!

[@joshtoner4967]

Right when i get that notification i click.

[@lokichoki_]

I lived right on the spit! I was selling tools to the bases I bet my tools touched that LCAC, Would go out in a kayak to do just this, do not take it for granted

[@bigboi3280]

WHOAH MY GAWUSH ITS A GIIIAAANT

[@McGuireMotionProductions]

Lol, I know exactly where you are, as I live there, that big roadway or highway leads to a tunnel that goes on for a while and goes pretty deep down

[@andreasantini7442]

I'm from italian and I love you

[@ConnorNolte-ii7rx]

Awsome vid dude go fishing in the gulf

[@natew9706]

I would love this type of fishing. I only seen cobia like hug structure one time. Here at Cape Hatteras. At the Frisco pier. It's gone now. The Frisco pier had the biggest cobia ever. Look we used to catch 30 cobia in a day out there. Some ?most were all citations. My biggest 98 lbs.

[@ryanprice4066]

Good ole bay bridge tunnel

[@pizzaboy5579]

I went on my vacation to Florida that I go on every year me and my dada went out fishing and he said I’ve always wanted to catch a cobia 5 minutes later we had a 60 pounder on

[@lautarovera984]

Desde Argentina saludooos 🎣🎣🎣

[@jessiearthurs9130]

see ya in Nunavut haha

[@landonlynch7541]

I live in virginia and I find it cool that he was there and I've been on that bridge many times

[@C_lamity]

Bro, same

[@thestricklerfamily]

What’s kind of hilarious is I live in va and can fish the cbbt anytime. Like josh I’ve been flying down every month to catch sailfish, tuna, and tarpon in fll with Matt and Eric at Deep Blue Kayak. So maybe we’re passing each other in the airport as you fly north and I fly south! Lol

[@seashurjewelry]

Sweet!

[@iPhone-tc7jp]

I love fargnia 😍

[@larewetanfishing1947]

big fish..mantap👍👍

[@trinidadjamieson236]

Big cobia down here in NC too

[@ryandalton6511]

What time of year do i go just got back from myrtle had a blast i caught a big bull and a nice blacktip shark from surf and 2 big amberjacks and one cobia on head boat cobia was yummy

[@benngugi6735]

This is the strangest thing I've ever experienced. I never thought catching fish is soo much fun. I love watching these videos and apparently I can't stop. One question though...? Why don't we see you cooking and eating the fish??? Add that part to your videos.

[@jasonsanders6930]

Wish you would do a meet up!

[@EndersonKayakFishing]

Parabéns! Fisguei um desses em kayak no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

[@gl3618]

Easy to oversize your tackle for your fish and take the sport out of it...downsize to where you have to maneuver the boat to fight the fish, and THEN your having fun. Good hunts/fights guys.

[@normalaccount9531]

Josh when is the q and a gonna come out I can’t wait

[@mariomonintja6259]

the best giant cobia

[@woodchair6]

was that a Saragosa 6000 paired with a XXH 8 Teramar or an XH?

[@jeffreeves7212]

Please come to Venice FL and do a video on our Red Tide disaster. You can barely BREATH THE F'N AIR! EVERYTHING SWIMMING IS DEAD! We need more awareness as nobody from any agency is offering a suggestion on how to deal with this disaster. We need more exposure.. Jeff Reeves Venice FL

[@ReelJedi]

That one cob looked bigger than your PB Josh👀

[@chevegan]

It would be awesome if you were to say how long each one took to get up. Will feel like we're right there with ya!

[@youngunner45]

broke the first off in my opinion drag was lil tight....fish was thrashing and pushing hard on top and wasnt much drag going out...maybe got stuck in drag a little ...either way one may never know but just a theory..happy fishing

[@liamahearn6376]

Yes

[@Jb-qn2xz]

I love how you never have a scale and start at 300lbs then work your way down every breath. Just say you don't know but it feels big... those 60's are probably more like 25-30's
