Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but what kind of fish was she holding?

What fish?

Cobia. Really good eating and tough fighting fish.

Ling/Cobia depending what coastal location you're from. one of the best eating and hardest fighting fish there is, can get over a hundred lbs.

I tossed a completely green 60lb cobia in my boat once. Destroyed everything on the deck ! I was eating lunch and my bait was dangling about a foot in the water off my grouper rod. I see it’s head come from under the boat and take the bait. The rod was across my lap so I just grabbed the rod and lifted. It slip right up through the motor well and into the boat. Buddy and I stood on the gunnel while the fish went wild on the deck.

There’s nothing about a 60lb green cobia on the deck that’s funny ! It was a ‘80ish 20’ Robalo. Exploded the tackle box , cracked the lead bucket , and overturned a half full 172qt cooler of grouper and ripped its lid off. Deck was covered in hooks and weights it was slinging everywhere. We were barefoot so we were afraid to come down off the gunnel until it quit.

she will be a captian someday, but she said for someone else's boat, when she buys her own boat it will stay on a lake.

we got into a school of ling once fishing in a 12ft zodiac, one poked a hole in the left pontoon and we had to limp in. thankfully we were only 4 miles off the beach.

everytime we pull up to a rig i stomp on the bottom of the boat, if there is a ling it will come up to see whats going, we always have a live bait ready.
