Went out to Fort McAllister in Richmond Hill and caught this huge stingray. At 2 feet wide and 17 lbs, it's my biggest fish caught inshore (my biggest offshore being an approx. 20 lb bonnethead shark and a 40+ lb. blacktip shark). I'll have a video up soon... Tight lines.





The barb:

That's a decent sized stingray. They come a whole heck of a lot bigger though. I've caught them up to 6'-7' tip to tip.

Here's one that only about 4', maybe 5' caught at the Port Aransas jetties several years ago.

That barb is crazy sweet catch man.


Its not about how many fish you catch or how big they are, its about the memories you make catching those fish.

As always, tight lines!

That ray would also be perfect sized for rigging for sharks in the surf.
