South Bay Saturday.
Followed Gotfish around for a while on the Coronado side.
Managed 13 sbb, a short halibut, and the first one of these that I've got on a ScorcherZ tube bait (green).
And this one was much larger than any of the ones I've got on bait.

She was about 30 inches long.
Wikipedia: "...banded guitarfish, mottled guitarfish, prickly skate or striped guitarfish (Zapteryx exasperata)." I only know 'em as banded guitarfish.
Just big enough to not fit in the net, and she did NOT like it when I tried to tail her.
After a while she got tired enough to be grabbed by the wing and hauled into the tube.
