## Caption

The potential world-record cobia was caught by an 18-year-old commercial octopus fisherman while at a 21st birthday party.⁠
⁠
After they were done fishing for the day and ran back to port, they took the cobia to the Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-operative where they had a certified scale. Weighmaster Paul Cramer certified the fish weighing 175.49 pounds, with an overall length of 77.56 inches and a girth of 40.94 inches.⁠
