Wounded manta

Filed under: Indonesia — stephane @ 9:47 pm

The hundred mantas were lining again in several small groups. I bumped again into the wounded manta that has 2 hooks in her right wing and a trailing fishing line. I still did not have any knife to attempt some quick line cutting.

  1. Aha — there’s the twin whip goby shot. Great shot!! You really got Bob jealous with that one. He really started looking for whip gobies after he saw that shot.
