A halibut will keep running straight down to the bottom. If it "ran" it was at least NOT a halibut. You can be 99.9999999% sure it was a ray.

Sounds like a fun day. I tried South Bay, just managed to scratch up a few small spotties. I'm curious, was the float tuber you saw in the main part of the bay, or behind the island? I've been tubing South Bay a lot the past couple months, but figured the boat traffic up around Shelter Island would make it kind of hazardous.

He was in a inlet just south of the launch near the airport. I figured it was a ray. Was a crazy fight though!
