Clearnose Skate
Although it was difficult to make out what the creature was from Matt’s post online, the other photos as well as Matt’s description and leg injury left the FBI to believe he caught a Clearnose Skate.
A fish that is very rare for the area. In fact, it was the first time the community had seen one being caught in their waters. But when Matt read the comments on his post, other people had different ideas about what it was.
