RE: AHHH it shocked me!!!
Well...that shock would have came from what is known as the Lesser Electric Ray, or Narcine brasilienes. They are common along beaches and coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and there electric organ (haa haa...I said organ. Shut up Beavis) produces 14 to 37 volts that is used to stun prey and for defense, such as when gigged by a member of Chunky Love.
They are very pretty, with spots almost like that of a lepard, and maximum size is usually around 18".
You may ask how I know all of this?
Because I slept in a Holiday Inn last night.
Seriously, I went to the shark and ray seminar hosted by Karon at UWF with guest speaker Dr. Glenn Parsons, and bought his book.
I have actually seen these also while snorkleing at Casino Beach.
Too funny...only thing electric around here, and Konz sticks a metal object into it.:letsdrink
