Hungry no doubt but they are just little tackers. Big ones are 10' +.

Hard to see on the video I know but the first one was in fact around 3 and a half metres and the biggest stingray I have seen down here so far.

Without actually placing a measuring tape on them, we'll never know exactly how big they are.

But seeing as Rasmus and I were the ones in the water with them (thats my catch bag & float, with me on the other end pulling), I guess you'll have to take our word for it.

They were big enough, but more importantly, they were a bloody nuisance.

I doubt it. I was eye to eye with that very same ray, no less than a meter apart and I just kept Spearing afterward. Stingrays of any size don't faze me. However, we were fighting a loosing battle yesterday.

By the way, proper spelling (not SMS talk) goes a long way on here. Just ask Greg.
