And they got another surprise to catch the same day.

Chris Moore and Jeremy Sloan knew they had caught something big when it took them 45 minutes to reel in their anonymous catch.

"After a while, we both ended up getting tired,” Moore said. “I continued to fight the fish to bring it in, and probably about 35 to 40 minutes in, it ended up breaking my fishing pole that we'd just gotten from Bass Pro [Shop], and I was running a 100-pound test line on it, so it wasn't going to break my line."

To their shock — they discovered a massive stingray once they got it on shore.

“I've never caught one that big from Dauphin Island,” Moore said.

Moore was accompanied by apprentices from Germany in Mobile for the summer, working at Airbus. It was their first time on the island.

"They didn't want to grab the fishing pole,” Moore said. “It was definitely worth it. It's about building memories. They don't get to see that on the regular."
