Skate (a.k.a. Cownose Ray)


     On the first night of a week long fishing trip I caught this Skate. No official time on how long it took to play this Skate, but it was estimated at 20 minutes on 10lb. test monofilament line. Landing it was just as big of a challenge. First, the Ray had no desire to swim into the net. Did I mention the net was too small? And when we did net it, it took 2 of us to lift it onto the cockpit deck. The Ray was returned to Langford Creek with no injuries other than a sore "lip".
