Figured it's a Bat ray, had a couple eat my bait in recent weeks.

Quote:

While the bat ray, like other stingrays, has a venomous spine in its tail (near the base), it is not considered dangerous and uses the spine only when attacked or frightened.

FWIW, I have been shaking the hook loose at boatside with that tail whipping around, now on second thought a hook will rust out.

What type of light were you using that the boaters were able to see? Did they say they saw it right away or kinda later than you would have liked?
