BANGKOK – The largest stingray ever caught was recorded and released back into the wild. But was it of this earth?
A British man visiting Thailand to help with a stingray tagging program was nearly pulled overboard. Ian Welch just happened to catch the largest freshwater fish ever landed, a 770-pound stingray! The ray was seven feet wide by seven feet long, with a monstrous ten-foot stinger.
It required 13 men in total to finally get the stingray onto the boat for inspection. After tagging and recording the ray, which was actually pregnant, it was released back into the water.
However, their records may be uselss. Weekly World News editors have noticed a distinct resemblance to the aliens featured in the widely-acclaimed documentary The Abyss, filmed by James Cameron. Did Welch make an even more important discovery? Are these aliens coming closer to shore?
This find will for sure convince my co-workers that aliens do exist.
Since when do sting rays live in fresh water…?
i hav no idea__
of course they live in fresh water, there bodys are designed to dig into deep silt thats why there so rare because no one can drag them off the bottom, watch River Monsters theres a whole episode on fresh water giant rays.
wow that's amazing!!
That is what I would like to know.
But that is one hell of a sting ray nonetheless.
Thats retarted. Aliens? Are you kidding me. It's a wonder of nature, a large stingray.

most stingray species ARE freshwater… and theyre strong! it can take hours to catch one.. these are in rivers in thailand. smaller ones can be found in south america and other tropical regions around the world. dont leave comments on stuff like this if you arent a fish person, it makes you look stupid haha
