Great!?
 

Been pretty slow for me the last couple of months unless you count the sharks. Been donating gear to Soupfins and Leopards on a fairly regular basis. Ended a couple trips early when I ran out of sinkers. Only highlight, other than some interesting bait behavior, came on another "Nat Geo Moment" on Sat.

Geez... I have to stop sticking my legs in the water so much.

I quit sticking my feet in the water when the bat ray decided to taste my foot

Yeah but you'll only lose some skin from those things. :p

loosens your bowels too

Bad ass right there!

what a magnificent creature. I'm so jealous. the underwater shots with him in the frame are sooooo rad

What's going on with the shark's dorsal fin?

Great vid. Damn what a beautiful animal.
Mr. NiceGuy. Those a parasitic copepods. Similar to the sea lice you find on yellow tail. The strings off the back are eggs I believe. Mike

Very nice would love to see that

Check out and compare the features of the tail in the two videos..............we might have a permanent resident in Santa Monica Bay:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Do you have a length estimate?

what an awesome sight

its two different whites. Which is a good thing too

Super cool encounter and amazing video.
Thanks for sharing.

I saw another fish that looked about the same size as the one in your video a couple months ago. But I figured it was a Mako, since it was shorter than the average birth length of 5'. This one was no more than 7' (I don't think). Hard to imagine a litter of 2 to 10 of those at 5' :doh:
