I was camping with my family in Puerto Penasco, Mexico when I was around 12 or 13. We were using some sort of cut bait catching crabs for a crab boil that night. I was bringing in a crab and about a 2 ft stingray grabbed the crab! I fought the thing for about 5 or 6 minutes and got it rather close to shore and was too scared to try to land it so pulled the line sharply and broke it off.
My father has a lake around his condominium complex in Phoenix in which he fishes for largemouth bass. Fishing for bass, he has twice hooked into 28-30 pound fish! Once a very large grass carp and once a very large catfish... forget which kind of catfish it was... he had about a 25 minute fight with both on 8lb test line! I should get the pictures and scan them for y'all.
