Straightened Hook @ DP ?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

As you say, Leos can be turned on light tackle. Bat rays are not a consistant catch at DP. My guess would be Thresher, they do come in close to the breakwater at times. The treble hook indicates that you had a stinger setup, Threshers slap their victims first and you may have tail hooked one. This would account for the bent hooks and not a break.

Of course, it could be a small GW, I've hooked one out thee before.
