Graphic images of the "decimated" stingray have spread online, prompting worry about what was responsible.
Speaking to 7NEWS, the fisherman described his catch of the day as "the craziest thing" he had ever seen.
He said: “It’s easily the craziest thing I’ve seen [while fishing] and the biggest ray I’ve caught."
