It was 2006 and I was in Punta Gorda, Florida. I was fishing with my dad and Uncle Steve at Mr. Mussinni's house. He is my Grandparents' friend. We weren't catching many fish. Everyone had caught a couple of fish, but I had not caught any. Suddenly I felt tug and tried to real in my line. It was tough. I asked my dad if I would break my line if I tried to real in. I didn't want to lose my fish. He told me I snagged my hook on the bottom of the channel. I told him that since I could real in my line it was a fish. He said to go ahead and try to real it in and not to be surprised when I brake my line. It was really tough realing in my line, but when I saw my fish it was worth it. When it popped out of the water we were all surprised to see a 12 inch stingray. My uncle Steve got it the line. I got my picture taken with it. My uncle was going to throw it back in the water, when Mr. Mussinni said to make stingray burgers. He laughed and then said he was just kidding. My uncle threw it in the water. I still have the picture to remember it.
