Report:after hours and hours .day after day going to kerry to get my first sting ray. I final got what I have been looking for .. for years... at first I thought it was a b ass as it did not give the usual ray bite. But what a fight it went from right to left. The mark I was fishing is a shallow beach so I waded in thinking it was a bass but when I put my head lamp onto it to lift out. s*** two steps back. Finally got it to the beach.. and was I chuffed..

Will ask saltydog to post the pictures for me as it is saying file to big to post
