    Is that Ban San ran (Something like that ) fishing park in Thiland. I read that story in Fishing World, The Aussies described them as "very Cobia like" and 1 of the strongest things they have ever tried to land. The fishing park has Barra too. Looks like a fun place to visit, right in the middle of the city . MQ
