Caught a couple of Cobia - all the same way, noticed them lurking under the boat and dropped a bait fish right over the side. Not too keen on eating them though - there were what seemed like pockets of gristle in the meat.
Personally, I love bailing dolphin (AKA dorado or mahi mahi). Great to eat, fun to catch, and you can easily catch your limit when you get into a school of them.

Oh ya Im serious and Cobia is one of the best tasting fish in the ocean IMO it should have been solid white and medium texture...no blood line clearly if you got anything resembling gristle it wasnt properly fileted. Its also excellent raw tasting like a bit milder yellowtail.
Caught him at night on a freeline with a hardtail about the size of the fish the thread starter posted.
We catch dolfin all the time by the dozens (the chicken ones) somtimes we get a big bull or sow. We also catch limits of Red and mangrove snapper regularly and our share of King and Spanish Mackeral and Grouper and Amberjack...among others....
