Had a few hours at walton pier.
First cast out, was talking to a friend whos just started fishing when i was greeted by the butt of my rod dragging against my chest and being dragged out !!

Lovely fight, to the point i was thinking possibly my stinger . Ive had 12lb rays , and this dwarfed it, luckily got some pretty good video footage , couldnt even fit it in the guys dropnet and ended up trying to lift it and losing it
Gutted
4 people tgere said biggest ray theyve ever seen haha
Proceeded to land another two , and scraping double figures one a around 7lb .
Has anyone else noticed how some rays have really blunt teeth , and some are razor sharp ? Got the tip of my thumb stripped lol

Now tell the truth , it was your lad who caught them wasnt it ?? he just let you have a few shots to cheer you up lol.
Unlucky on the biggun.
BTW i was just putting pack a token 5lber when a woman came up to me and showed me a pic of a stinger she said was caught at frinton when she was walking the pooch , proper size one , i think she said it was 60lb , most people wouldn't have scales that large or at all but it was a good un

Looks like a beast, shame it didn't land!

Looks like you needed some weight in the bottom of the net to get it below the surface , the ray would have gone in then !

Ray teeth sharp or not can crush shellfish that is all you need to know !
