This is why I take my wife fishing...

Noooooooooo!!

You got that right! Me and a buddy was shark fish'n one COLD December night in the 90's off the P.C.Beach pier with 10lb. baits and he (after a 1 hour fight) reeled in one half agin that big. He released it, but when he did, it weighed a lot less. Oh, did I mention that we were just in our 20's and STUPID? We took the filets back to the rental and had massive breakfast tabled. Good thing too, that fish tasted like trash! Lesson learned!

The one we caught yesterday was an easy 50 pounds plus. My largest ray, personally, was caught four years ago at St. Andrews on Jekyll Island and was in excess of 150 pounds. A two and a half hour battle on a 6.5 foot bass rod and Ambassador reel spooled with 40 pound braid. It would have hung off both sides of the hood of my F-150 and took four people to lift onto the beach and return to the water unharmed. It had apparently been caught before as someone had cut its tail off. It was an impressive creature.
