I can see the flying ray. If it wasnt for your description, I can also see a pelican flying and what looks to be taking a dump. Lol. Very nice timing on catching him mid-air. O*D*W

Awesome! I had one do that right by me last year, and I couldn't describe how cool it was to people. Those mantas are big and freaky looking. I was near the no motor zone across from Sherman Cove when I saw it.

I got really lucky. He jumped by me and scared me then I just started snapping in his general direction, never expected to get a shot. I definitely recommend a waterproof camera. If you have a chance to get something that can do video and capture images from it that's even better. We had a huge school of jacks swim under us that could have been an awesome shot too. Just too scared too hold my iPhone under water without a float on it. You never know what's gonna happen out there.

Great shot man. Theyve been out there doing that the last few weeks.

The craziest thing happened one day when I was on a boat. We were anchored up bottom fishing and all of a sudden it sounded like a bomb went off. This ray had to have been ten feet across and jumped a mere yards off our stern.
