Nice catch!! How the hell did you release it after the battle? Must have taken 3 guys!
Almost positive its a butterfly as mentioned. Also, bleach is the best thing without a RX that you will find for stingers! Good tip on not using the ice as well!
I heard of a ST being caught just north of BI earlier this week. It was on for about 45 minutes, estimated at 7 feet, but it chewed through the leader. Guy told me he was using 300lb mono leader. He said he had a live bluefish, held down with a 24oz sinker that was dropped from his yak.
There is no doubt they are swimming in the wash, especially the last couple of weeks. Look at all of the food on the menu in tight for them.
Good Luck on the Tiger Quest and again..... one hell of a landing there! I dont know of many guys who would have worked it as well as you did there. Nice job!
