Great report- that's one hell of a stingray- how long did it take to land it? |

It took me 20 minutes to get if off the bottom and another 30 minutes to pull it up 40 metres! All on 50lb mono and 130lb class rod and a bloody big penn reel!
That was it for me knackered for the rest of the day, must join the gym before I go back in March!! LOL |

Nice one- I'VE not had a stingray from the shore but I'm told it's like trying to reel in a car- well done. |
