00:00Holy moly, these rocks are sketchy putting a fish on.
00:02Yeah, just go gentle. Yeah, look, he's coming with us.
00:04I can come to about here if you can. Josh, I'm trying to.
00:07Yeah, all good, don't rush.
00:08There's something pulling on the other end, you know?
00:10Yeah, oh yeah.
00:11And these rocks are slippery.
00:12Just watch that line angle. He's coming with us. That's good.
00:14That's the one you wanted.
00:15Look at the boil, man.
00:17And if it's not, we can always go back and catch the other one.
00:19Yeah, you get multiple.
00:20No, let's catch them all.
00:21If you're happy to get stretched by stingrays, go for it.
00:23Watch that bar.
00:24Watch out, please. Watch out. Be careful.
00:26Wait till his head comes around.
00:28Oh my gosh, he's big, dude.
00:29Yeah, he's huge.
00:30Don't grab that later. Look at the barb.
00:32He needs to spin around.
00:34Yeah, he needs to spin around before we can touch him.
00:36Don't go near that Jarvis.
00:37Oh, he won't know you're there, though.
00:39Alright, we're good.
00:40Oh, watch out barb, man.
00:42He's not happy.
00:44Man, they stoned.
00:45How big is it in the center?
00:46I can't tell yet, but I'm going to say it's 150 to 200 kilos.
00:49450 pounds.
00:50Yeah.
00:51450 pounds?
00:52Pounds, yeah.
00:53Look at the barb, Josh. It's a foot long.
00:55You need to spin him around.
00:57Be careful, dude. Be careful, bro.
00:58Oh, yeah.
00:59Careful.
01:00It's stuck under his back fin, so we just got to get it out the front.
01:02No, we got it.
01:03We got it.
01:04He got it.
01:05He got it.
01:06He got it out from under there.
01:07Yeah, that's good.
01:08Perfect.
01:09Oh, my . Look at him.
01:10That's a monster.
01:11Oh, wow.
01:12Look at the side.
01:13Josh.
01:14I'm just going to hold him.
01:15He can't get back any further.
01:16Oh, yeah.
01:17Watch that.
01:18I've never had a sword pull this out on the track.
01:20No.
01:21Maybe Josh.
01:22There you go.
01:23There you go.
01:24Make the cinch on now.
01:25You can see.
01:26That's good.
01:27If that stays there.
01:28So, if you lift from the flaps or wherever.
01:30Oh, my gosh.
01:31This thing's huge, bro.
01:32When you get right here, it's unbelievable.
01:34This is the biggest stingray I've ever caught in my life.
01:37Look at the size of that thing.
01:39It's got to be at least 400 plus pounds, 200 plus kilos.
01:43Look at that thing.
01:44It's six feet across.
01:45This thing could fit on.
01:46Paul, I don't think this could fit in your truck, dude.
01:48It's that thing.
01:49Holy moly.
01:50This thing's massive.
01:51And now we're going to let it go.
01:52You ready?
01:53Here we go.
01:54Give it a yank.
01:55There we go.
01:56Cool.
01:57Holy moly.
01:58Here we go.
01:59He's great.
02:00He's good to go.
02:01Whenever he wants.
02:02He's good to go.
02:03That is a monster.
02:05There he goes.
02:07We're in the Demersi River.
