You can take a wing span measurement and use that to calculate approximate weight using south african tables. Very similar to their duckbill ray im told

If any of
you guys like catching Rays, it would actually be HARD to fish landbased in Busso and NOT catch a Ray

Totally agree!!!
Everytime we head down we get at least one ray and/or a fiddler/banjo.... even from the boat if I let the bait sit on the bottom.

great effort getting that
great effort getting that one in. as far as the tail goes, it may have been cut off by a boat prop. there are heaps of rays down there without one. the prob is shallow water and people cleaning their fish on the water and the rays come in for a feed
