Hangler, theres nothing wrong with claiming a few records during your lifetime. I am proud of my catches over the years. You are 100% wrong about fishing for the pot. I dont eat fish! I am pleased that you are excited about catching rays. I hope you have some fun. If you want to catch a bigger than normal one (not sure if you want to do this or not) try fishing in the pond beside the road at Westshore where they have the triathalons and kids sailing. There have been a couple of people injured there recently by rays so you could be doing everyone a favour by catching and eating them.
