OK that is exactly WHY I never wade fished in the Texas gulf coast when I lived in Houston! Too many stories of stingrays AND folks who had stringers of spec's, reds and other game fish 20-30 feet behind them tied to their belts having the stringer attached, ate, taken by black tip sharks!!! I stayed in my 14 ft jonboat even in 1 ft of water!!!
The question is that doctored photo or a posed shoot in a water park??
either way its FUNNY!!!
