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?

00:17And 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.

00:42He's not happy.

00:44Man, they stoned.

00:45How big is it in the center?

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.
