14 year old Daryl Garrett from Ryde recorded the capture of a Sting ray last week which tipped the scales at 35lb 8oz. Daryl who attends Ryde High School was fishing from Ryde Pier with his father Drew and friends when his line went slack and when he tightened it realised he was in to a good fish. Thinking he had a Smoothound Daryl played the fish letting it run and only realised he had a Sting Ray when his Dad was trying to get it in his landing net.  Once the fish was weighed and photographed it was returned to the sea alive and well.  As far as I am aware this is the biggest fish from Ryde pier and the best Sting Ray by a junior on the Island Bash Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:15:18 +0200 http://bashworld.blog.com/3246261/ New junior club record http://bashworld.blog.com/3246261/

Colby who attends Sandown High School was fishing alongside many of the anglers in the UK Hooks open but was not booked on himself when he hooked into the fish. Despite missing out on the open prizes Colby was over the moon with his catch which was officially identified and weighed the next day by Scotties Tackle.
