A friend of mine who ownes a bait shop told me to gut them as soon as you get them on the boat which is what we did however I dont think it helped much. We barbequed them that evening and I have to say that I wont be keeping anymore leopard sharks! The meat was OK but not worth all the trouble to prepare it. These pic's may bring back memories for you. We are in Richards bay in 10 feet of water. I was teaching Lisa how to to reel in fish. we caught 10 bat rays one was about 5 feet wide. She got some good practice!. You can see Alcatraz and the bay bridge in the background. If I close my eyes I can pretend that I am reeling in a Tarpon!
