British guy catchings Motherfucking Ginormous Stingray.
|
I've been swarmed by two-meter wide stingrays before, but they were Caribbean southern stingrays, not a freshwater species.
But yeah, rays can get very large, and they're very strong. |
Fuck me. I saw one about two foot long at an aquarium once...
"The giant freshwater stingray, weighing as much as 350kg (772lbs, or about 55 stone), was the size of a garden shed and so cumbersome that Ian Welch had to enlist the aid of 12 other people to get it out of the water." ABM |
The look that it's giving me is goddamn biblical.
|
Up until now, I was under the assumption that only male stingrays had the venomous bard. I'll take more care when handling the female stingrays we always (unfortunately) catch while fishing.
Alcar... |
I so totally never pictured you going fishing...
|
I frequently go fishing - I love it :D
In fact, I was out fishing just last night near the airport up until just past midnight. Only caught a small Brim though - unlucky. Alcar... |
You're lying.
|
No, complete truth :)
It's a hobby that has developed since returning from London; prior to that, I despised fishing as I had not had good experiences. Alcar... |
Females are also larger.

Wonder how big the one who took out Steve was... |
It was tiny.

Sure. Usually you can only buy skate, though.
