According to the source ABC News - A man went fishing in Thailand and caught a giant stingray. Thirteen (13) men helped him carried it out of the water. "Thailand capture of the massive female stingray was part of a program to tag such Maeklong River" they said. I still remember my ESL Team back in Thailand, we used to hang out beside this river and we would have fruit shakes and tried Thai food [wink]. Anyways, believe it or not the International Union for Conservation of Nature measured this huge stingray as 7 feet by 7 feet. That doesn't include the 10-foot-long poisonous tail and it weigh 771 pounds (Almost 800 lbs). Such creatures are dangerous, of course: Famed Australian TV personality Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin died from a stingray barb at the Great Barrier Reef in 2006 [According to the Source].
