#688, "RE: Moby ##### Sighted Off Goleta"

No bubble burstage. Maybe you're right but I've caught one of those rays before, although not super big. This fish was very VERY fast. I only felt 2 thumps right when I hooked him almost right under my tube...everything else was super-smooth and super-fast. His first run was over in like 5 seconds, but he went from under my tube and in front of me to behind and way down the beach. It ran similar to a football tuna on 20 pound, not like a big ray...but I guess I'll never know. All I can be sure of is seeing 3 distinct thrashing humps under the water surface when he got tangled in the kelp the first time. Bat ray, thresher, monster halibut, or big seabass, I would've liked em all. I'm just bummed out because I didn't get a better look at it before it broke off.
:-(
This is one of those stories I'll always be telling other people who fish. Its always going to be on my mind when I hook big fish in my tube. I'm just saying my best guess everything carefully considered, would be a thresher, although I can never be sure.
