Have been catching Cobia in the Keys for over 30 years. Great fight and great eating. The guide tells rookies to look for "brown sharks" as that is what they look like. They look very much like a big catfish as well. Flat wide head, but sharp tail somewhat like a blue. They definitely get as far as the gulf stream around Virginia and they call them "Ling". Have even caught them in the Keys on my Dad's Darters. I can picture then following the warm water up. Heck a few years back I saw a moa moa (ocean sunfish) in Pleasure Bay in Southie. Anyone who has seen a king or spanish mackeral or a Mahi Mahi probably has a shot at seeing a cobia as they all follow the warm water of the gulfstream north.
