The Bizarre and Comical
Two big sawfish in courtship. I believe they had already mated, because the female was up in such shallow water (1 foot) the male (in background) could not get to her. When we got up to the female she was oblivious to us, and just resting. She had fresh bite marks all over her fins and body. We got to within 3 feet of her, broadside, and she was just as long as my skiff, 17 feet. I think she was about 650 lbs.
