I was skimming online and saw this and thought you guys here could appreciate it. Since the internet link probabkly won't work for long I am posting the photo here as well.

Photo description form the link - Jeremy Wade, host of the television show “River Monsters”, hauled in this massive 280 pound stingray in Argentina after a four hour battle. These giant stingrays live in rivers and are the world’s largest true freshwater fish. The animal was later released unharmed. (Photo: Daniel Huertas / Icon / BNPS)
