    Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

    Goes great on the grill, served sandwich style, with an herb mayo spread and some avacado

    In the moment of the actual catch i had no idea what to do with it, how to prepare or even properly clean a ray, so rather than randomly butcher this amazing creature I set it free. but not before getting a few pics.

    when i was down in florida last year, i was out fishing in the surf and a few of those were swimming around my legs. amazing to watch something essentially fly underwater. supremely graceful. bastards did't bite my bait though

    speaking of flying, we saw a flying fish right around the time that sunset picture was taken. the thing flew right over the bow of the boat. I'd only seen them from a distance before. It couldn't have been more than 15 ft away. Really cool. Way too fast to grab the camera and take a pic though.
