I caught this while on vacation in Hilton Head South Carolina.  Fishing off the pier at the resort my friend Brady and I caught Pinfish, Pigfish, Black Sea Bass, Rock Sea Bass, Gulf Toadfish, Southern Puffer, and Spot Croaker. We were fishing one morning and Brady gut hooked a Pinfish not wanting to waste it I cut it up and threw it out on my heaviest rod I had with hoping to catch a small shark, because I had saw a small blacktip at the beach.  I ended up with a nice surprise of an Atlantic Stingray!

Very cool. I admit I don't know much about fishing the ocean, but it would be a trip to pull in any species of ray!
