I didn't know that either. Evedently, these guys go fishing for them!

Can you imagine if we had to fight through those beasties around here? We would sure go through some line looking for the striped ones.

Exclamation
I can't remember exactly how long it took me to get it in close, but it ended up getting snagged in my other rig and Coop helped me get her into the suds. Then Oliver grabbed ahold of her and pulled her up onto solid sand. I'd say about 150lbs+. Released alive.

The crazy thing is, if in fact it was a ray, it didn't have it's tail and if it had, Oliver would have been in REAL danger...

Yeah, I didn't even know it was you until the next time we fished together! I felt terrible about that...
