What the? Really?

Every once in a while you begin your pull and your hoop net is noticeably heavier...there's a telltale thump, thump, thump with every pull. I was thinking this one's going to be a mambo bug...NOT. Wing tip to wing tip, this Bat Ray filled up my entire net.

Haha, for sure. That last picture has the trap upside down (see bait box)...the stinger was outside of the net trying to stick me. It was one of those "please get out...please get out..."

Wow, how the heck did he even get in there in the first place, he is huge for that net.

I have probably pulled over 20 small rays in the last two weeks.
