I caught a small one once. Maybe two-feet?
Took me an hour to bring it in. I had no idea what it was. Brought him up and let him go.

Photobombed?
by a Manta Ray?
So whatever photobombed means I take it the Manta Ray knows about it.

I wonder if they’re in Crystal River! I’ve seen dolphin swimming in the wakes of boats and jet skis out there maybe a half mile off the end of the pier (west).

Is it on the Atlantic side of Florida or the Gulf side?

I saw about 40 of them off the Saint Lucie FPL Nuclear Plant while fishing about three miles off shore there.
I think they were mating.
Coming out of the sea right side up as well as upside down.
10 or 12 feet wide.
Massive.

Back in the day when I was heavily into sailboat racing up and down the FL.Atlantic Coast we would see these things on a relatively regular basis. They can easily clear probably 5 or more feet and make a hell of a splat when they land. Never got any pics though. Always busy with sailing the boat.

Saw one while I was on the pier at Okaloosa Island, just calmly moving along about twenty feet off the shore. It never broke the surface, but it’s outline in the water was incredible. They do get big.
