Another encounter back in September I had forgotten about. This guy followed me around for a while.

So cool Greg!

You always seem to have the coolest footage. You can tell you put in the totw.

That's amazing. Strange it would chill out like that. Were you leaking any scent thru your scuppers? Rays are very attunded to electric fields. Was there a bait pump or some other possible source of a field in the water at that time? Mike.

Nothing more than the ordinary bait pump thru the scupper. They are an unusual ray though that is not generally a bottom fish. Might just be a feeding technique like a Remora for boats?

I think it was just looking to be a star in one of Greg's videos.

What a ham...

Super cool! Make sure if you pet them to use only two fingers or some guy with a microphone will yell at you and embarrass you in front of your kid. Not that that has ever happened to me.
