Cast one more vote for a bat ray.

I fished Long Beach harbor for 6 years before moving to SB recently, and hooked at least 40-50 batrays there. I never used bait, ALL were taken on on trolled Rebel spoonbills & fasttracs. (Also caught lots of halibut that way.) Most were hooked in the wing, but many near the mouth, and a few in the mouth, so these weren't just snaggings. I've heard that a ray will try to kind of "smother" or trap the targeted food with the wings before eating it, so that makes some sense.

Anyway, most batrays I've hooked will take off for the sunset at a pace that will make you think you've hooked an albacore, then go to the bottom and sit there for a long time, then make a nother long run, and then repeat until tired. I normally used 10 lb. line on a medium action bass rod, so some of these bouts went on for an hour. Problem is unhooking them from a kayak, I usually tow them to the beach and do it there.

Anyway, that's my story, and I'm stickin to it.
