Flip it on its back & then use pliers to de-hook.

I normally step on the tail and cut the barb before messing with them. If you don't want to do that then cutting the line is the best idea.

Just clip the line above the hook. Like most fish/sharks, they'll get that thing out in no time.
You can run, but you'll only die tired!

| Or you could use the old school mullet netters method, if you got the guts, which I readily admit I do not. My father-in-law, the late Fred Haushalter, a third generation native Pensacolian, would remove entangled stingrays from his cast net by grabbing the tip of the tail in one hand and the head in the other. And then, WITH HIS TEETH, he would bite down on the rays' barb and tear it from the tail. After spitting the barb out, he would then safely set the ray free. By using this method he did not have to wade all the way to shore just to untangle a ray. "Old School Guys" are amazing!
