Hi Bob,
Thanks for the answer,and so promptly! I have many photos of the big fish we
catch here.I will send one in every now and then just to let you guys see
what we get here on our coastline.The first is a photo of myself with a
"Diamond ray" (Gymnura natalensis) of 71 kg (156.53pounds). I have only
caught two others bigger than this 80.5kg (177.47pounds) and
82kg (180.78pounds).We get these ray's here in summer on big baits usually
fish heads. S.A.record 89.9 kg. (198.19pounds). Went down to the beach last
night after work with a friend Barry for a quick throw, he was smashed up
twice and myself once. Big "Steamtrains".

Yours in angling
Peter.
