Been smacking a few Stingrays in Tampa Bay lately

Some I've shot others were by others I've taken out and right now we are shooting some 50# and bigger rays on a regular basis.

What do you do with the rays? Eat them? Goliath bait?

We have seen a few Cobia and put them in the boat, mostly I use them for shark bait or release them if only winged. Have a few friends who like to eat them and will fillet the ones that arrowed in the body.

I've heard they 're good to eat, but have never tried one. That's a fun way to catch some bait.
