Pictures of Rays in the wild?

[BigBad]

I like to see pics of the rays in their habitats or even caught on fishing trips..Ive saved pics Ive come across, and Im sure most have been posted at one point or another. I thought we can bundle them into a thread, Im probably no the only one interested.

Pics are from around the web.

Enjoy, and add what you can!

That was really nice to see them in their natural habitat. Hope to see some more pics so we can do our best to replicate their natural conditions.

Do you think the people holding these rays know how much they are worth. Then again, they are probably only a few cents there. LOL!

Wow, truly some monster rays. Was that Mel Gibson with the nice Castexi ( :

Great pictures, thanks for posting. It would be good to make this thread a sticky. Will help to let ray keepers know how big their rays can grow. The only pictures I have seen have been the ones taken by Joel Sartore; link posted above.
