 We first reported on Wilson native Billy Ray Lucas' record setting 116.5 pound cobia back in June when he shattered the old North Carolina record. Now the IGFA has affirmed his catch and declared it a world record and the biggest cobia ever caught. Although he landed the cobia on 50lb test, the world record was set at the 80lb test class since his line overtested. Lucas caught the giant cobia off Oregon Inlet on June 11th and has achieved a bit of fame from his catch. He has received several tackle endorsements and a few sponsorship offers. He is now setting his sites on the world record for striped bass. More on the IGFA certification is available from the Wilson Daily Times.
