Big N-
I doubt he is telling you a fish story, only because I have seen it before. Not on my boat, but on a boat that was anchored next to mine about 4 years ago. The guys were fishing when the boat suddenly spun sideways, knocked two of them over, then began moving at a good clip. The anchor rope was hooked by a large ray, and came close to having water over the bow. Their rope was cut to free them and they were very shaken up after the ordeal! I can only imagine a 18' Express! |

My understanding is that the anchor hooked the ray somewhere on its body. I checked a website out and it said a sting ray can grow 6ft long and 6.5 ft wide and wiegh 760 lbs.

I beleive it, I had a catfish do that to my boat once. I had my anchor laying on the deck of my boat and some blood got on it and the sun baked it in, i got to my spot and anchored out, well a catfish took to it like white on rice.. Drug me about a quarter mile down the intracoastal

I use to hydro slide behind some of the specks W would catch but we stopped doing that cause it just wears the fish down to much.

We were coming in from an offshore trip a few years ago and near Belle Pass we went thru some kinda stingray migration . They were so thick you could have walked across the Gulf. I haven't surf fished since that day....

That catfish that I caught with the anchor was so big that I used the catfish head for a chicken coup.
Had to bring it in Mallard Bay to turn it around so i could tow it to the dock... |
