yeah we hooked a ~6ft wide ray down in the Outer Banks this year, it was jumping out of the water it was some real National Geographic photos if they could have been caught, but it ended up snapping the line before we could tire it out enough to land it. That same day they caught a 175 lb black tip shark about a quarter mile down the beach. We had something grab our line and snap it right away, we have a feeling what it could have been :yikes:
