Mitchw: You aren't the only one who has regretted free gaffing an over curious cobia. Things don't usually turn out too pleasant. Even when they aren't green, I beat the crap out of them with an aluminum baseball bat. I also have a small collection of bent gaffs. I've seen a heavy steel pipe with a sharpened steel centerpunch welded standing straight out from one end of the shaft. It finishes them in one hit if you are practiced. But watch out when you are swinging and buy a gelcoat patch kit just in case.
