Summary- The picture was actually genuine but the stingray was never weighed so they couldn't be sure if it actually weighed that much. The stingray was the actually size in the picture. It was caught with a reel and a rod. When it was recaptured it weighed between 550-770 pounds. They added a tracking device and released back into the water.
Opinion- I think it was very intresting. I think it is odd that it is in Thailand where they are finding these giant sea animals. I wonder how much food they have to eat since they are so big. They actually foun a 646-pound Mekong giant catfish. These large stingray have a potential to become the largest freshwater fish.
