7-8 lb ray is not to be sniffed at. I have a pic of a 16lb ray here to compare on a shakespear box.

Nice one Alan, thats a cracking raymond....very think set as well, so would defo be up in the 9 - 10lbs in my opinion. Had Thornies touching the 7lbs + mark from the Cliften area and they did not look as big as yours. What ever the weight, a ray of that size is a cracking fish from the shore - well done and roll on the next session...

lovely fish mate - last year i had one with very similar dimensions (but i never measure how thick) and it went 12lb 2 on my scales. and i recon she was just after spawing because she felt thin if you know what i mean. i am in no way intending to take away from your assessment because the thickness would make all the difference. in fact i'd have to agree with you.
congrats on the pb man.
