nah, i just look smaller in that pic, i got 25lbs on it. btw, that day when it was 35mph i was getting my ass kicked by the wakes on my float tube

Really? Your 5'7" and 135? You look a lil' skinny for that haha. But nice fish.
 
wow, that is epic
 
Do you actually eat those filthy bastards?

I like to poke them with my speargun when I'm spearfishing. A couple years back, I was diving out at Catalina for Yellowtail. It was batray breeding time. They were gathered in the hundreds, amazing site. I had fun dropping down on them and swatting them with my fins, then watching them freak out.

Yup, I hate batray with a passion, as do most So Cal fishermen. They are a pain in the butt when fishing for White Seabass. Always coming through and taking the squid you are soaking for WSB.
 
im asian xD and ive eaten bat ray before , although i rarely catches em and i do respect them for the "fight" they put up. i personally think they r somewhat edible if cooked correctly ( with no hint of the nasty slime they have) ..... and i actually went to that famous cook school in Napa valley, and the high end restaurant there, and i got served some fried stingray ( not sure if its bat ray) but .... man, that turned out really nice ... or perhaps its just because my parents made me eat it n it costed like 30 bux -_-

but next time i catch em, im gonna release them anyway, cuz trying them once is enough ^^;;
 
catch and release is wat its bout!!! ive wanted to catch a ray of belmar or wherever on the nj shore since last summer my friend pulled out like a 40 pounder but thats put to shame by the 110 bat ray
 
cool catch!
how old are you BTW? you look close to my age, but not my size lol.
 
He's very tiny for his age:ROFL: no hes actually 5,7 and 15
