well Shaun Brown, 14, did not when he managed to hook and land this ugly-looking creature from the less than exotic surroundings of the Grand Union Canal in Leicestershire, it is called a pleco after their Latin name Hypostomus plecostomus, a native of South America,
I am guessing it got to big for an aquarist's tank and was deposited in the canal, it is a warm water fish and could not survive a UK winter so it must have been placed there very recently or this is a made up story where the fish has died in captivity and has been "caught" for a story.
