So we were heading way offshore to do a spearfishing trip on our day off and low and behold we saw a funny looking fin sticking out of the water.......

Pat, you lucky sod !!!

I'm sooooo envious.

She's a beaut! Thanks for sharing.

We lucked out and saw one about a mile out of Destin a couple years ago :)
 
Very cool! Looks like the mola was experiencing a lot of excess drag in the water that particular day. Anyone know if molas are very common in the Gulf? I don't remember hearing much about them.
 
Well, Paul, you could be lucky like we are and have Lake Lanier.

Would love to see one of those big boys !!!

That's cooler than sharks!!!

That is a VERY odd looking fish. Mostly a hard outer body from what I remember from school and the top and bottom fins as well as the back.... NEAT opportunity.
