shygye Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Link BRITISH angler Ian Welch has landed a world record with this monster â?? a giant stingray which is the biggest freshwater fish ever caught using a rod and line. Ian hooked the FIFTY FIVE STONE beast â?? which nearly pulled him over the side of the boat several times during a 90 MINUTE battle â?? before he landed it. It took THIRTEEN grown men to heave the fish â?? which is the size of a garden shed â?? out of the water. Weighing 771lbs it smashed the previous record of 646lbs for a huge catfish caught in 2005. [color:green]Ian, a freshwater biologist, had been visiting Thailand to help with a stingray tagging programme when he hooked the denizen of the deep on the Maeklong River.[/color] ...
