Cobia argued that § 924(e) did not provide for mandatory enhancement, that the Government must affirmatively seek enhancement and provide the defendant with notice for § 924(e) to apply, and that because the Government had not filed a motion to enhance pursuant to § 924(e), Cobia's sentence should not be enhanced.

 ESPN Outdoors -- Ridin' the rays, Florida style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
So strong is their appetite for the scurrying crustacean, it's earned them the nickname "crab cruncher." The cobia could spend all day searching the coastal shallows for its desired meal, but instead outsource the labor and collect the profits.
Once ray-riding cobia are located, a live crab free-lined on a 2/0 or 3/0 hook and tossed ahead of the ray is an easy sell.
Second, considering a hooked cobia will rip off 50 to 80 yards of line, fighting the fish from a "dead boat" means negotiating the return of all that yardage while the fish looks for a handy shell or rock on which to cut the line.
