“Hooked” into this creature at the North Inlet on Saturday.
Fun Fight.
Anybody know what type of Ray this is? A Manta Ray perhaps?

Awesome video! I think it’s a spotted eagle ray from what I saw in the video.

Haha never seen that before. Cool video!
spotted eagle ray… really cool when they launch… have hooked several but never got one to the boat.
Yep, googled “spotted eagle ray” and that’s what it was.
Thanks for the help.
Video - Thanks again. We enjoy making the videos after the fishing trip, “ALMOST” as much as the trip itself.
I’m storing memories for the future… 
Nice video, that’s awesome.

Cool video!!
Great video. That’s a good size eagle ray too.

Spotted eagle rays have flat disk-shaped bodies, deep blue or black with white spots on top with a white underbelly, and distinctive flat snouts similar to a duck’s …
Right after Steve Irwin died from crossing paths with a ray, a lady out of Florida was hit in the head by one of these while underway. I think she died too.

Sorry for the late response to the question about the location.
Haven’t been on the site lately.
We were fishing in the North Inlet area near Georgetown.
Nice place to fish. Can be kind of “scary” getting in & out of the area.
Need to be careful.
Pretty cool ray. I know fighting that was a grudge match… cool video
Awesome video, im sure that was a rush when it jumped out like that. I have caught some large rays but never seen one jump like that, mine do the opposite. Stick to the bottom like a rock.

Yep, this battle was a good one.
That ray was 1 of the “fastest” that I have ever hooked. We really didn’t know what it was until it jumped.
After 30 minutes of playing with it and making no real headway, I tightened down the drag, let the line pop, and went back to flounder fishing…
