Cobia federal vs state bag limits
So I noticed that you can keep 2 cobes per person if you're in federal waters instead of the single you're allowed to keep in state. My question is how do ya prove it? I mean, I know I can with my gps track, but still, seems kinda stupid really.

you land the fish. Though you would be in a "Over Possesion" situation, you are In Transit only, unless you stop on the way in to fish, even
for something else. From how its been explained to me, it becomes a 'Burden of Proof' on the LEO, but again to be safe, leave the GPS
running and now stopping until you boat the fish.

yea dw last summer I saw guys come to the bluepoints with 20lb snappers that they claim they caught in state waters. If your going to cheat well what can I say but I think most sportsmen are doing the right thing. I don't know fwc does it but every once in a while you hear about that guy they bust in the middle of the night.
