Fish on! Fish on!
Did they show blowing it up with a stick of TNT?
I did not know that stingrays could be found in fresh water. I thought they were exclusively salt water. Learn something new every day.
I didn’t know there was such a thing as a freshwater Stingray. Guess I’ll have to look more carefully every time I jump into my pool!
They released it I hope....didn’t say in the video.
I live in Florida, and I was walking across a very high bridge that goes over an arm of what is essentially an estuary. I glanced over the rail and saw what looked like a huge sheet flapping under the water - a ray, of course. Even given the magnifying effect of the water, which was really only a few feet deep at that point, this was one monster ray. It was flapping its way down towards the ocean.
They’re so unobtrusive, just gliding along under the surface (until those moments when they suddenly leap out of the water!), and sport fishermen don’t usually fish for them intentionally, so you just forget that they’re there...and how big they can get!
That’s nothing compared to the giant catifsh I caught below the dam at Lake Barkley, Ky. Easily a ton and a half. Hooked it on a pocket fisherman with steel leaders. It took two backhoes and a bulldozer using steel cable to pull it to shore. It fed an entire city for three weeks during the blizzard of ‘78 - saved a lot of lives those fillets did. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I would have thought Sturgeon would have been bigger?
2 hours to reel it in?
Conservationist, my butt.
More like tortured an animal to get a record.
Around here, hunting and fishing puts food on the table. It isn’t about bragging rights.
But does he taste good, Uncle Lar?
