DISCLAIMER: this longer unedited footage (the fight anyway). I've wanted to catch a giant ray for years now, so this was a special moment for me. SO, I decided to leave things as they were, not as I wished the looked. This was a bit emotional for me at moments and I want to preserve that vulnerability, not hide it. That includes some more language than usual and my mistake of keeping the fish out a bit longer than I should have (it was fine in the end).

Thx for leaving the raw aspects intact. There were moments early on that I wondered if it was going to be worth it. Despite the title, I still wondered if you were actually going to land it. I was intrigued enough to find out but didn’t want to skip to the end….didn’t want to lose the impact of the real experience. Wondered if you might be able to eat it but definitely glad that you returned it to the water. It battled well ! Great job in catching it…wonderful video

Great catch sir. PS - I counted 5 camera licks.

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzread.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

Awesome video. I just caught a small stingray out in bolivar it actually had babies while I had it hooked which was amazing to see first hand. I can’t imagine catching a creature like that MASSIVE

Great catch man! Congrats! And I love this style of video, you could definitely get away with doing more of that occasionally :) Watching you fight that monster got my blood pumping as well.

I caught a huge one when I was about 9 or 10 in Delaware, on a shark fishing charter . It was massive . Looked like it was 5 or 6 feet wide . We had to cut the line because obviously they couldn’t get it in the boat but man was it big

Mate this reminded me so much of me catching a ray that size off the beach in Goa India. 2am pitch black, 12 foot - 2 1/2lb test curve carp rod, small Shimano Baitcaster with 20lb line with a UK size 2 carp hook and bit of squid. I was with a local friend who was jumping up and down screaming making me even more nervous. But somehow and with a lot of help from my mate wading out to help drag it in. After over a hour I landed it. I took it to the local school that Ive helped out for years and they filleted it and gave it out. Those rays just stick to the bottom like a wet sack.

An awesome battle Peyton!. Amazing catch!.

You got your work out for sure ! Awesome catch ! Thanks for the release . 👍🏻🤗😘

What a catch! I absolutely love your channel!

I caught a 150 lb stingray off the lower pier at Ft Desoto on the right gear and it WORE ME OUT!! You were tired after that fight. GREAT video!!

That's an experience we've shared... Catching the big fish on the light rod... I'm sure I've hooked more than one bull shark and lost it on the light tackle... Never caught a ray that big, just a couple dinner plate sized ones. I hear the little ones make good shark bait..

Dr. Crocodile hunter is proud to have you on earth 🙏🤙

What an epic fight! Awesome catch man keep up the good work!

unbelievable man!! What a great catch!

I remember when I caught my first stingray gave one heck of a fight, great vid

Awesome ray! I caught my first one few weeks back. A baby compared to yours but I got barbed..let me tell you that pain was excruciating for about an hour lol

Great catch man!! 👍🎣

You are so incredible fisherman. I am impressed you do this all by yourself.

Just getting my channel started, I'm a 71 year old disabled male, just got a new mobility scooter so I can finally get to the water after having to take the city bus to one spot to fish in a wheelchair., love your channel Dude!

man, this was INTENSE!!! I LOVED THIS!

Holy Mackerel! What an epic contest between you and that Sea Pizza! Sorry about the back though, hell of a price to pay for the victory.

Excellent catch. I can feel your excitement!

What a great fight!!

catching a ray is like reeling in a parachute from the bottom of the ocean.

I caught one like that when I was a kid,I was in a Popular Mechanics plywood jon boat that my Dad and Grandfather built for me.I had it on a solid boat rod and I didn't really fight it that much, it just towed me all over the flats, till it was tired and I could reel it in. Nobody believed me except for my dad and Pop, I must have been 11 or 12, this was in Islamorada ,Fla in the early 60s My one and only Nantucket Sleigh ride! (for those of you who care, I cut the line close)

Good video. Glad we finally got to see it a little bit past the halfway mark. For a second there I thought you hooked Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster.

I loved this video!!! Truly entertaining...

Great fight.. ..looks like you were both tired out!!!, great video.

Dang I guessed blacktip, nice ray!

Really nice Catch. Congratulations. How many inches would you say it was from wing tip to wing tip? Very impressive. My Brother and I took on a Beast of a Stingray that took us nearly 3hrs to land on the Beach near Bodega Bay which we measured 6' wing tip to wing tip. Unfortunately the 8MM CAMCORDER he took along with us wasn't able to document what we caught that night but we will never forget that night. GREAT SELF LANDING SKILLS👍

Lol I was literally thinking about this today, right before you reposted it! Remember I waded out there to cast, and when I walked back up you told me that I didn't have to walk so far out because I was standing exactly where you hooked this stingray! Amazing video Payton! I've watched this video almost 10 times probably lol!

I don’t know much about rays, but wow that tail looked like it could’ve reached you with ease.

Check this animal out! As he licks the camera lens, haha 😂😂 Love it! Awesome catch bro.

That was fun to watch .. kudos to you for landing the nice ray. Good of you to turn it back to the ocean and the wild. You need to treat yourself to a big time halibut trip in the Alaska waters... remember big bait .. Big fish... Be safe and good luck with your films.

You are the funniest KZread surf fishing guy out there. I laugh out loud watching your videos. I’m not sure you mean to be funny, but you are. That stingray was slapping you, threw sand and water all over you, in your face!!! …. You were completely gassed and out of breath, dodging the barb!!! but just fighting like crazy to bring us a great video.

Stingrays are some of the more powerfull fighters I have ever hooked into!

My favorite video that you have shared of all time. Loved the fact that you cussed much more less than I would have.

Awesome thank God you didn't get hurt Glad uhad fun God bless you and your family

Wow. Crazy impressive land.

Oh my.. big..glad you didn't get (Steved)hurt. I caught a 100 lb. Skate in a crab ring (see rings used to pull fish up a dock, use by westerners to catch Dungeness an Red Rock crabs) and tried eating the wings. I couldn't/didn't get the uriah flavor out of the meat. 😐 It is something I'll pass on again. Thank you .
