biggest catch ever!

onshore for dear and me..

Dear was talkin to me when his reel suddenly gave a screechin sound and the line just went out at top speed! He quickly held onto his rod lest it fell into the sea and gave a tight jerk and started reeling in while exclaiming his line was going out too fast and might just be pulled totally out.

The THING which was pulling onto the line was so strong that dear had to support the rod with his body and it was a tough fight between whatever was biting the line and him..
The rod actually bent at least 45 degrees while he was reeling in and finally around 10 minutes or more .. dear shouted at me to look into the sea to identify what he had caught..

"cant see yet!"

dear reeled in more..

"stingray!!"

and it was BIG. almost 1-2 feet wide.. dear reckoned it was more than 10kg..
He tried to reel it up but it was too heavy then he tried to pull the stingray to the side and tried to haul it from the side but still too heavy, i helped him to hold the rod while he used a cloth to slowly pull it in when suddenly the line snapped!

That THING just snapped dear's 40pound line.. with the hook still in its mouth.

What a pity!Though dear caught it but we did not have the proper apparatus to land it..
But at least dear enjoyed the process of fighting it..

Dont worry dear, we'll do it again soon.

and now gerry comes in two shades of colour lol
