Thinking about this, I think I may have seen one of these this year.

Several weeks ago, mid-afternoon I was testing a plug off a small jetty in very shallow water over sand on the Buzzards Bay side of Falmouth. There was some small bait and a lot of sea robbins around. Out about 30 yards I saw a large very dark fish with a sharply shaped tail. The size (maybe 3 feet) and width made me think bass, but the tail looked more like a bluefish and the body more streamlined than a bass. I cast at it with the big swimmer I was using and it spooked and moved off. At the time I didn't know what it was. Too wide across the back and too dark to be a blue, but the wrong head shape and tail to be a bass. In retrospect I wonder now if it was one of these cobia. Should have used an eel.
