   On this special report we're going to be doing something a little different. We're going to be outlining an adventure that you need to add to your bucket list. That trip is cobia fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. To discuss this today, Butch is joined by Joe Baya (Northwest Florida Fishing Report), Killerdock Jay Williamson, and Luke Barton, our guide and resident expert. Guys, this is one dynamic show because this was recorded the night before the Big Man's Cobia Bonanza Tournament, in which each host and guest competed, and because the cobia fishing here is legendary.
