that is so cool, what a beautiful ray. awesome find and thanks for sharing.

i love ray keeping, but its **** like this that makes feel bad. as long as there is a market for WC rays, they will always be hunted in this kind of matter.

and how else do you catch them? seriously? drag nets? teach them to jump into the boat?

Can some one like Michael H who frequent to Brazil, introduce the circle hook to those fishermen? As circle hook is design to hook in the lips rather then swallowed to the guts. Widely use in sportfishing especially for marlins and sailfish.
