Pain in the butt. You go to the trouble of catching a fresh bait, burley up some action, wait a few hours hoping a mulloway or a snapper will come along and grab your bait and then you get a good run - and its a bloody stingray.
Where did you catch that - I thought you were taking it easy Sherbs.
Trying to unhook a little one years ago to keep the missus happy instead of giving it a whack first and the bloody hing got me through the first joint of my thumb.
After dropping it over the side[STILL ALIVE]she has the cheek to ask "does it hurt"of course it #$%#@! hurts,with blood [mine]everywhere.Since then they all get cut off before they even get close to the boat.

Ahhh, now I remember
It least it gave you a chance to test out that new rod - it lifted that ray like it was a small herring.
