One of these fish was insanely strong and way bigger than me, and the other one was one of the strangest fish I have ever seen!
STAY TUNED FOR NEW VIDEOS COMING WITH DAD, AND MONSTER FARM POND FISH!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
If u fast forwarded to what they caught, say I

Before click bait this video was titled... We caught a big sting ray!
They should have called it “We Caught Steve Irwin’s Killer!” I would have called it “Fishermen Alarmed to Find Fish in the Atlantic.”
Big click bait! Stingrays are fortunately quite docile in most cases, the barb on their tails are a natural form of self defense that they may use against being eaten. But there are locations in the world and even a place called Stingray City in Grand Cayman where humans and Stingrays in the wild interact and get fed. And I personally love petting Stingrays myself💙 but self defense is common in most animals in the ocean. Its eat or be eaten as they say.
@@queenneptune2456 Right, and they are still a fish! He did that in another video where he caught a shark and titled the video the same as this one. They are both fish!
I'm surprised others didn't mention that. I'll never watch this person's videos again.
bro I'm so tired of clickbait i just click on videos like this to dislike them and leave
"We thought it was a fish" -and what do you know... It was a fish.
I hate these kinds of clickbait i was expecting something else than a fish
Exactly
"You sir, are a fish!"
@@handicapandu8049 LOL
Depends where you are, in my case a croc - they don’t breath water but they quite happily sit at the bottom.
Man I really felt bad when that guy said screw that animal and didn't take the hook out
Most hooks rust out within a few months or less. The fish will be fine, it would be more traumatizing for the ray if it was wrangled to the point of being able to remove the hook. Understandable concern if you don't know what you're talking about.
@@chasewagner4251 How do you know this ? Back up your statement with facts.
@@douglasr.c.5622 The material nearly all hooks are made of is very prone to rust, having lived on the west coast of Florida my entire life, I have had hooks rust to dust in only a few months in my garage if not properly rinsed. The hooks are designed this way, being submerged in salt water would speed up this process. Getting a ray of that size into a boat without harming either party would be damn near impossible. I am sure that bringing the ray onto the boat would have resulted in injuries. The ray is fine.
@@chasewagner4251 There is a difference between a hook in your garage, and a hook in an animal. Shoot me some facts. That ray may be suffering or dead, you don't know.
@@douglasr.c.5622 lmfao you're so smart dude
My very first cast EVER into saltwater (summer of 2019 in Galveston Bay) was a stingray... 18-20 inches across. Right off the beach about 11pm. Put up a heck of a fight for a relatively small creature! I couldn't believe it!
They suction themselves to the sea floor is why they are so hard to fight.
@@Praise___YaH are ya done yet
Fisherman: Screw that animal!
Stingray: Screw me? No, no, my friend, screw _you._
@Sound Money it's a joke dum dum
@@joegastly6166 Lol prolly not tho
More like skewer you
“He’s a big Steve Irwin killer” rude dog
😢
Too soon ?
Shut up
Tarpon is without a doubt the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever caught in my life and the biggest one I caught was only about 80-90 pounds. I wish I lived somewhere that I could fish salt water all the time.
I hope to catch my first one soon. Can't wait for the fight!
JacobE-23 It’s like hooking a 100 pound Striper that’s on crack 😂
I could more more fish then my dad and my dad job is fishing like bruh
. I'm not sure which fights the hardest pound for pound but tarpon are right up there. I'd also add jack crevalle, bluefish, pompano, bonito, and eels. If I had to guess it would be the jack crevalle being the strongest on a pound per pound basis.
Rays are actually fish, btw, if that is not known to some here.
.
"Screw that animal' and leaves a giant hook and line in the gullet of a wild animal which may die from the injury after the long fight. That's a sick way to have fun.
so what are they gonna risk their life to take a lil hook out they literally said thats the same animal that killed
steve erwin
@I'M ALL OUT OF BUBBLE GUM! What an intelligent response (sarcasm).
To those who don't know, this beautiful creature is a Stingray. Despite the stigma around them over the death of Erwin, they're typically fair tempered and approachable. What happened to Erwin was a mistake that resulted in the Stingray to envoke defensive measures s(tinging him in the heart with pin point accuracy) had he survived he would have told everybody the same thing
That doesn't make me feel any better.
@@timothybrown6988 understandable.
Its was an error in judgement. 😐😑😐
@@handyalley2350 exactly. Even Erwin himself would have said that.

He was killed by a short tail sting ray not Atlantic sting ray.

only Steve was killed by a short tailed sting ray in AU not an Atlantic sting ray......
@@simons.3450 I know lol i just couldn't believe they said that

Stingray: 😎

Or like spongebob where spongebob and Patrick ride the hooks.
Kod stingray: mom can I ride the hooks?
Mom stingray: no son you will get caught.
Kid stingray: 😎
@@youknoweverything7643 cringe again
Oh 😳 what a wonderful catch. Being I live in Wisconsin the biggest fish I caught was musky and northern. And big sturgeon when I lived by the Columbia river in Oregon.
the stingray was kinda cute
Oysters Toad...ya can’t make this stuff up! 😂 I’ve never heard of them, but ta da there it is. Strangest thing I’ve ever caught is a mudpuppy, native to Michigan. Thanks Ty!
Pretty plentiful on the oyster beds Atlantic and gulf coast
I catch them all the time in the gulf they come into the bayous,where every there's a oyster reef even man homemade oyster reefs there around.
We have oyster toads in the Chesapeake Bay. Catch them. Keep your fingers away from it's mouth. Kill it and throw it back in for the crabs to eat.
We call them bullheads.
This is not the species that killed Steve Irwin. This is an Atlantic Stingray, it was a Short Tail Stingray that killed Steve.
Thats what I was thinking
I think the camera man said it was 8' wide too.
Steve was killed by a bullray.
All I have to say is do you're research
@@silasjohn7294 You should do your research, a short tail stingray IS a bull ray. Its also called a smooth stingray. They're one of the largest stingrays out there.
Let me tell you a story... I was a commercial fisherman in Florida for 20 years. In the winter, when things were slow, we would half moon the beach to catch a few fish to sustain us. This was highly dangerous due to the amount of stingrays there that time of year. We had boots made out of the thickest canvas we could find doubled up. Impossible to stick a ice pick through them with all your strength. So we were protected up to our upper thigh which covered most situations. However, we had done a fairly deep water half moon, dropping off to 6 foot, and lo and behold the corner of the net got stuck on a rock when we had the net halfway dragged down where the fish were feeling crowded. I went out to unhook the net off the rock with my foot in water up to my neck, meaning my upper body was exposed but I had done this numerous times and never had a problem, but when I turned around I was face to face with about 30 stingrays hovering in a perfect flight pattern with their tails twitching above their heads, ranging from 5 to 30 pounds, ready to strike. I froze expecting the attack to come, but they just stayed there. the only move they made was to pivot from looking at me to looking at the net on my left. I couldn't believe the intelligence, they were asking me, firmly, to let them out. I slowly reached over and pulled the top of the net down and they immediately went within a foot of me on their way out. That made the top 10 in my close call life experiences. When stuck by a large stingray, even if they don't hit a vital organ, many times they cant pull the barb out and just swim off dragging the person behind them to their doom. They will head for deep water and the person will drown.
Fun fact: stingrays are fish.
The "strangest looking fish he's ever seen" resembles pretty much every bottom fish where I'm from.
What happened to her Miss Dreckastan sash from her runway walk in the N W O Miss World Contest ! The woman there all look like twins (with their brothers of course)
Haha same
I step on them all the time...............not!
Get him back in the water-dang! 😆
Ikr
Most fish are a lot more durable than people think. The thing is just fine.
Out on a two day boat and ran into a legendary school of Albacore. It was a furious 90 minutes and 19 of 20 guys hit their limit.....except for me. I hooked into what could have been a mammoth Albacore and after an hour and change I pulled in a huge Bat Ray. He sat down and it was like trying to pull in a giant garbage can lid. I was the only one that got skunked because of that damn Ray!
Hahaha that’s crazy man!! Honestly sounds like you got ripped off!!!
*Fisherman- can't wait to get it in the boat!
*Other guy- it's not getting in the boat...
*Stingray- I'll take a beer!
i like how these fishermen know the name and taxonomy of every rare specie they might encounter
Lol it’s not that rare they just say it is because they don’t know where to catch them
they sometimes got it wrong tho, its not the same species who killed steve.
"Don't be dissin my shark"😂
haha i had caught a 7 foot blacktip a few hours earlier!
That guy yapping in the background mustve named every species of fish in that ocean hahaha,
No shit. I had to mute it.
Haha...everybody's a fucking expert.
Impossible in 8 minutes lol
As Chief Brody would say from JAWS, I think we need a bigger boat.

It wasnt an atlantic stingray that killed steve, it was a short tail stingray
Can we all appreciate the fact that this man never clickbaits us
he just did-
its not even that dangerous
When guy said can’t wait too get him on boat the other guys like HELL NO!LOL
This guy is handling a very venomous fish completely unaware.
Venomous dude 😅 lol youd be fine even if it got you. And just Google it yes toad fish are venomous. You just have to squeeze the top it's just a defensive tactic from being eaten.
Poisonous and venomous are two different things
@@hillbillybobby8708 They are? Explain.
1:25 I love how the guy puts the fish back in the water and not with the netted fish
So fun watching you fight those big ones!
That’s generally a gentle giant. So sad it killed Steve. It was tragic
Be VERY careful handling ANY member of the sculpin fish family. My dad wasn't cautious enough and got stung by one of the barbs on their spinal ridge... ended up being allergic. That was a FUN trip back to shore.
Yeah they never even mentioned it is venomous although usually not medically significant to humans
@@T0tenkampf my dads friend got barbed in leg and almost had to amputate it

Thank you for the great video, keep it up men, great job! I live in Florida and I love to fish! When you hook something in the Gulf or the Ocean, you never know what it might be, very exciting fishing! Love it!😊😊😊😊😊
That’s my favorite part of it having no idea what it is! Thanks for watching man!
They never saw a sting ray? 😂
Captain Steve putting you on those lunker stingrays.....lol
Great catch I hooked up on a big ray surf fishing absolutely hammered I fought that thing for well over an hour.

So you left the hook in that Ray.Com'n on guys.
"take it easy!" the man says.. what else can you do with a Goliath? It's not like your gonna yard him up huh? Whoa.. a ray? too cool my brother.. way to cool! OOOH a toad!.. to bad.. but that is a big 'un though..... Been out helpin' to move folks outta the way of the fires so I haven't had time to watch some of your vid's. This is a nice one to come home to.. carry on, have fun and stay safe!!
god bless you for helping the others, stay safe!
Settle down, you! ( Drags animal by hook inserted in body somewhere)
My husband once hooked a stingray fishing offshore of Biloxi, MS. He fought that thing for nearly an hour and when we saw the size of it we were gobsmacked. At least half again as big as the one in this vid; I didn't even know they could get that large. It too was certainly not coming in the boat as he was nearly bigger than the boat. Cut the line and wish him well.
um.....the least you can do is pull the hook. out?
@@Crazybhead16 nah, it’s just not really possible, I’ve caught only a handful this big, but where I live there are like always 5+ at every boat ramp with massive sizes. Anyway, they weigh a lot and can freak out when putting that much weight on the hook can do some serious damage to themselves, the hook rusts out after a year anyway
@@largejoe2195 a lot sooner than a year hooks can rust in less than 2 months to a point they break and the fish can pass them easily
Glad I read the comments before I watched the video
"We thought it was a fish!!" It was a fish. I hope that poor toadfish survived, after you'd tormented it so long.
I am 52, when I was single digits old I caught one of these at Chesapeake Bay. Until this day I did not know what it was. People told me it was a "dog fish" and none of my searches for it over the years turned up as this particular fish. Apparently it is also called a "bar dog"... Thank you for clearing it up for me after 40+ years of confusion!
It maybe a rockfish I could be wrong
@@angiebarratt1904 was told it was poisonous...
Would love to see or catch a stingray. Other fish is Oyster cracker or toadfish. Lots of teeth and spines catch them sometimes in crab traps too
It’s called a Toadfish known colloquially as an oyster cracker. They have insanely strong jaws and could easily take a finger off so they’re dangerous to handle. I caught tons of them in the Delaware Bay when I was a kid fishing for weakfish.
At 9 years old I caught one it is called a oyster cracker. And is next to impossible to kill out of Barnaget Bay N.J
Midwest fishing with dad. I’ll be watching for that. I already hit the 🔔 on you my friend.
Man Ty that was a big Atlantic Stingray! That toadfish was really freaky looking! Great video! That Stingray Set It Off! Can't wait to see the tarpon video!
Caught one of them toadies up off the coast of rhode island about 45 years ago, fishing for cod... the crew wouldn't let it on board, said it was bad luck. Sucker was gigantic, easily 3 feet across fin to fin and a mouth almost as wide.
Probably close to 150lbs they said before they cut my line. Them suckers are crazy looking!!! Cool vid, rock on!
We have oyster toads up in the Chesapeake Bay.. I've seen them bigger than that. I don't know if you noticed the weird noise that they make. Sounds like a dog barking. Similar to the flying Robin.
I cought an Atlantic Stingray at Solomon's Island back in 74, it measured 9 and 1/2 ft across the wing. It was probably a record but I was young and only interested in Rock fish..🤔
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoy catching up with you guys it's always something interesting. 💯
i can only imagine the drag through the water those rays would create, forget how hard they fight just based on the body shape alone be tough to bring up.
no kidding, that water displacement has to be INSANE!
Its like trying to turn around a tugboat. I was a park ranger at cape Hatteras on a fish with a ranger program and hooked one of these monsters with a kid. We fought it for an hour and saw it flopping in the surf one time before it decides it'd had enough. No choice but to break the line. 10lb test maybe 25 lb leader. Perfectly hooked or he'd have broke us sooner.
its like pulling up a wet carpet
Imagine the fun Jeremy Wade with the Mekong stingray. His first rod broke and his bicep ligament tore.
Glad you guys just cut this one free. Getting it in the boat would have been hazardous without a way to secure the barb.
They hardly fight at all. It's just dead weight that you have pull through the water
I’m going to be “that guy”. Rays *are* fish.
They are also a terrible baseball team lol
Agreed to both of these statements
Well yea, Rays are shark family to be specific.
@@codygreuling3753 They lead the AL East this season so...
Casey Hood I hate to tell you this, but the rays suck
There's a relative of the toadfish you'd really enjoy called a Stargazer - looks very similar but is classified as a type of ELECTRIC fish. Added bonus to the two venomous spines they have.
Like Sea Robins and Electric Eels up the northern east coast, can't touch or eat them.
@WonkyWizard lol
We eat these
@@michaelvoorhees5978 you get hungry enough,,,,,you can eat anything that won’t eat you FIRST!!!🥸🥸🥸
Its so funny to see them excited over an oyster toad....the bane of my existence
As a guy who use to watch Steve Irwin as a kid, once I seen that devil break the surface my heart sunk and it brought back that horrible day when I heard that The Crocodile Hunter got killed. I thought oh no was it a Crocodile, poisonous snake? To my surprise it was a stingray, so called gentle creature. Then 1 month later a stingray jumped in a fisherman's boat and stung him in the heart, he lived because he left the stinger in his heart and went to the hospital, I bet that was a sight
Wow, when you hook a Stingray, you're in for the long haul, haha. That is absolutely the biggest Frog Face Goby I've ever seen.
For sure man, that thing was so difficult to move!
Florida Man battles a stingray while yelling profusely
That fish’s face looked like a better version of the wow emoji
Imagine just swimming around and get caught by a man who hooks you on a fishing pole to get torn apart by whatever bigger fish..funny as hell epic gamer move
Please Let It Go😥🙏
That fish that he picked up at the start is probably really happy because he dropped him in the water
Amazing God's awesome creation. Great fishing you all are really having Fun
Thank you I was looking for something interesting to watch!
Thanks man hope you enjoyed it!

Ditto!
I once caught a yellow fin tuna about 45 lbs and man are they tough ! Took me a while...... to get it to the boat. Like almost an hour. Corpus Christi area
That's a lot of tuna salad!😂
A mighty fine specimen of a sea flap-flap.😅
A sea pancake 🤣
Floriduuuuuh never fails to entertain. Not even close to the kind that killed Irwin.
The honestly in this video 😂 “screw that fish”
Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray at Batt Reef near Port Douglas, while shooting the documentary Ocean’s Deadliest in 2006. He caught sight of a short-tail stingray, which he followed and videoed, but it suddenly attacked him and pierced his heart with its stinger, killing him.
No it didn't pierce his heart, it pierced his chest and made a big hole that the sea water rushed into and that's what killed him.
wow did not know a small kinda big rod can hold a monster fish, amazing job but stingray take so long to get in but you made it look easy im gonna subscribe for sure!
Steve was killed by a Short tailed stingray, which is not a pelagic species like the Atlantic that you caught. Short tails are benthic rays. They are all certainly fish.

Good video. I caught a beautiful fish off the coast of Skye lovely colours . I tried to let it go but pulling up from the depths, the change in pressure had been too much. The seagulls got a good meal that day.. i wish i hadn't caught it. As for your toadfish, i wouldnt handle it without gloves.
“Don’t be dissing my shark!” 🤣

Some of these comments from all these professionals are interesting! I fish St.Augustine/Daytona area myself & some of the Southern Stingrays are approx. 6ft. across. I use a Star Rods B508hc and a Fin Nor Marquesa w/50lbs. drag as they have taken 4-5hrs. previously on Penn 4/0.
I fish daytona constantly considering i live here and i have caught skates and rays well over 10 ft
@@tylerj6327 with all do respect, the largest Rays in our area are Southern Stingrays and they get to roughly 250lbs. max. so other then a Manta Ray it isn't possible. Would Love to get out w/you and the guys sometime and slay a few fish though
This is usually every tarpon fishing trip for me. 20 boats chumming in the rays, one boat may get lucky enough to sky a tarpon. Reel on my brothers
For the people that want to skip to the part when he catches the fish, its at 1:47
Actually Irwin was killed on the Great Barrier Reef by a shirt tailed stingray. They grow up to 14 feet but I do nit think they are found in the Atlantic. The one that killed Steve was about 8 feet and they are usually quite passive. He had bad fortune of scaring the ray and getting stabbed in the heart. His natural reaction and mistake was to pull out the barb.
Missing the guy
I was told the Ray mistook him due to sun shadow for a shark that recently attacked it.
Genius pulling on the line with his hands is lucky to still have them.
Ever seen the guides do that with 1000lb Marlins?
I was kinda mislead by the title. But, fact is is that a stingray is _still_ technically a fish.
More like click bait
1:25 him: bunker!
Fish: *swoosh* im outta here bud
I once saw a fisherman that pulled up a rock that he thought was a fish. It happens. Just put it back.👍😂❤️
i thought they would put it back too but the longer he held it up the more i thought y isnt it struggling any at all or gasping to breathe so to me it actually looked dead already
How sad 😢 Poor sting ray.
Same
Hello Cole nice catch that's was one good fight and what a crazy looking fish ❓ remember to stay safe have fun enjoy yourself and please say hi to Jay and Cypress for me and as always God bless you and your families ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
One of those times to expect the unexpected .
5:49 …that poor stingray!! Your just gonna, so disrespectfully might I add, leave that hook in its mouth!? 😭
People treat ocean animals like trash.
Its the right and proper thing to do for the safety and well being off the fish ,if the hook is swolled you risk damaging the fish's gills and mouth retrieving it if removed then the fish will die of starvation or drowning, hooks are biodegradable and will eventually fall out or break off hence giving the fish a much higher chance of survival. Just imagine having a hook removal tool or a pair of pliers being jammed down your throat with twisting and yanking tearing up your mouth or throat. These fisherman did exactly what your suposse to do. By the way the ray will survive because of their action leaving the hook in and cutting the line away.People need to be more educated
@@kevintaylor671 you are correct it’s the”fuck that animal” that was an issue for me.

“We thought it was a fish.” And it turned out to be… a fish.
I though it was a fish. Fish Story. Wow. Holy Moly.
I thought he got a lion fish or shark. Nope it’s a sting ray and a harmless fish. Compared to everything else that’s DANGEROUS in the ocean, that was the most harmless exotic catch of the day. All the typos made me edit. Whee. 🤣👏🏻
Its probably pretty dangerous to try pulling a large ray into the boat but yeah..
OMG 😳 that Sting ray they first caught and I've never seen anything like that toad that they caught. There's no telling what you liable to catch these days!
FACT CHECK: IT'S STILL A FISH
A fish is a fish of course, of course, unless of course, the fish is Mr. Ed.
So you just gonna leave the hook in that ray? Great show of compassion with a living creature, man. Hope the world treats you better than the other way around....
Hook will corrode and disintegrate in days.
Dude had berely any strenght to pull it close, what else you wanted? him to jump on the water and risk getting stung like steve irwin? its a small hook for a large animal he will live, jump out of the animal loving wagon.
I know I'm super late to this show, but I have never seen a fish with the head of a toad. That was crazy lookin. Us michiganders don't see weird stuff like that. Thanks for sharing bud.
Those lampreys are pretty crazy looking! But they are invasive though!
