Thanks for posting this photo, Foamer. It was nice meeting you out there. This was not my proudest moment. Foul hooked too!
I knew right away that it wasn't a yellowtail, but I thought maybe a black sea bass. But it was not to be. I didn't even know these guys were out there. My arms and back are still sore. He was big though. A recent post on another site shows a bat ray considerably smaller than this and the weight was estimated to be 80 lbs. If that's the case, this guy must be well over 100! I don't know. Any guesses by just seeing one wing?
