Whoa Nellie! That Thing Is Huge!
Monday, August 11th, 2008
Last week a fishing boat near Hainan Sanya in China caught what is likely to be one of the largest rays ever caught.
The fishermen netted a 3,300 lb Devil Ray, which took about 3 hours to pull back into the boat. The net was strong enough to hold it, but the 16.5 feet wide ray died in the struggle.
The fishermen tied the it to the back of their boat, dragged it back to their dock and sold it for about $1,500.
Devil ray’s bring in a lot of dough… the liver can be made into fish oil, the bones and intestines are used in medical fish powder, and the meat is a delicacy in most restaurants.
R.I.P. giant devil ray.

A 1,000-pound manta ray was returned to the ocean on Thursday after a three year stay at the Atlantis beach resort in the Bahamas.
The massive 13 ft black ray, known as “Zeus,” was transported by helicopter back to the open sea.
Good luck Zeus!
