The One That Got Away
This 3 1/2 foot, 60# (est) Stingray just barely escaped his destiny. Read Dad's account of the adventure below:

"The guide said I'd never get it off the bottom, which gave me a great deal of motivation. Here he/she is, right at the surface. 
I brought him alongside to where George could cut the hook out, but he refused to bring him into the boat. 
After reading about Stingrays in my computerized encyclopedia, I can understand why.

Oh, yes. He/she/it also snapped my brand-new Loomis rod at the very end, and I have a shot of that, if you want it. 
Happily, Loomis guarantees all their rods, even the ones that break on oversized fish ;-)"
