Summary: JGF Tales and Reports Podcast Episode 021 Texas giant stingrays are plentiful along the Texas Coastal Bend and Captain John Little shows us how to catch one. Also, today we share the dangers that go along with wade fishing and what can happen if you encounter a stingray. A couple anglers share their stories on getting barbed by one of these nemesis creatures that lurk on the bottom. Hal Hargis, Houston Texas It took Hal six weeks to recover from his stingray barb. The pain was so excruciating while he traveled to the hospital that he wanted to marry the nurse after she made the pain go away. The next day he stayed in the boat for some drift fishing. Hal Hargis, Houston Texas Showing off the results of a successful "Anglers Shuffle" Troy Malish, San Antonio Texas Troy while fishing the shoreline took what he thought precautions in getting barbed by a stingray. Wearing boots that he thought would provide him protection and turns out to be a run to the emergency room. Troy still wade fishes on Team OSO for trout and redfish or whatever he can catch but is more aware of the pain associated with stingrays. Troy Malish, San Antonio Texas Texas Giant Stingray Captain John Little with his family went out fishing for shark and ended up with a trophy sized Texas Giant Stingray. This stingray took about an 1:45 minutes to land on the boat at Port O' Conner Jetty area. He thought it might be a State record but the Texas Parks and Wildlife doesn't keep track of catch & release stingray.
