Giant ray sightings and debated spines across U S waters
The giant devilfish or giant ray, common near Beaufort and Captiva, has turned up off New York and New Jersey with the farthest northern caught at Block Island. A Block Island specimen weighed 1686 pounds, 14 feet across and 7 feet long, fueling tales of much larger fish. Scientists like Dr Ek W Gudger note disagreements among naturalists about a tail spine, while Theodore Gill questioned the spine’s existence based on reports and wounds observed.
