Good day today - caught a few trout, and a monster stingray.
Fought the stingray for 30 minutes or so, had quite the crowd. Cut the line when I finally got him close to the pier as he was way too big to get out of the water.
About 5 foot in diameter - any idea how much something like that weighs?
I caught it on my Penn 6500 with 50lb braid - and with the drag tightened as tight as it would go, it was still ripping out line like nothing.
I would guess 125lb, at least
haha, buddy and I hooked a couple last week and had the same experience. I had an older model Spinfisher it about broke my reel.
Going to take my 30W over there next time. Stock up on shark bait
a couple months ago i finished a charter trip and hoisted about a 4 foot ray on the dock that some kid messing around hooked into and id guess at least a good 60 or 70lbs. im no stingray weight expert but id say 80-100 for sure if it was a 5 footer. either way fun fight!
