Hey John great to see your luck has changed since the last time we spoke. That's a nice looking small eyed! Keep up the good fishing

nice looking ray, good job

Smashing Ray lads, well done.

that's almost certainly a specimen painted ray - don't know the weights, but they don't get massive? could be wrong as there are none of them around up this end of the country...
