We get some vbig flying carpets here in the Hunter River too.
Biggest one I've hooked took 2 guys with 2 gaffs to drag out of the water, after we flipped it over. very carefully from a safe distance (long aluminium gaff poles were bent in the process.
Spikes on tail were > 12 long! NO ONE WANTED TO DEAL WITH BEING NAILED BY THEM.
I was live baiting from the shore THE WINCH Horseshoe for jewfish, Alvey 651C5 (35lb mono) on my trusty FSU7165 . My shoulder harness helped lots.
About the same size the one shown here (maybe bigger. I was asked by one of guys who helped me land it sure you couldn't hook bigger one LOL.
I was very disappointed as I was hoping for a good jewfish. hook was retrieved and we left it there for the guys who catch beach worms to deal with. For me this was a wasted yakka.

You guys are an absolute disgrace to rec fishers globally. Completely unnecessary harassment of a magnificent ray you are just like the other American influencer who got caught harassing a wombat recently and fled the country. Don’t let the door hit you on the arse.

These rays are everywhere in Tasmania, on some days I've gone down to my local jetty and seen 5 separate rays swim past in the space of 5 minutes, completely harmless. if you mind your own business.

need to be careful with them sometimes, ive had one stab its self to death before i could get it back in the water. even some tape would stop it. they keep our rivers clean! barbed hooks are not necessary.

This is nothing like the one and the fight that Jeremy Wade had catching that fresh water stingray in Thailand. But with that being said it's still a very impressive catch and I'm sure scary as heck!

I would love to see you go fishing with Jeremy Wade and try and find River Monsters with him. His TV show was fascinating and eye opening to the size of these incredibly huge fish

I reckon there are even bigger ones swimming around the jetty’s at Rottnest island. Whenever I fish there they always steal your bait. Some of them are well over 200 kg i reckon

As a land based shark and ray fisherman in Oz, I'm pretty sure any kind of burleying or chumming like that will potentially wind you up in lots of trouble with fisheries.
