Do Not Mess With Fish 94

and you thought fish were fun! if you are going to catch a fish, make sure it is a big one! that is what 18-year-old Simon Field did when he caught this 211lb catfish and has the pictures to prove it, 7ft 11in from head to tail, it was captured during a trip to the world famous cat fishing area, the River Ebro in Spain, Simon, from Park Road Westhoughton, joins an elite club of around 30 people in the UK to have caught a freshwater fish weighing 200lb or more, and around just 300 anglers in Europe, the fish battled with Simon for 20 minuets, after being photographer it was returned to the river, I guess next year it will have grown a bit more, may be into a 220 pounder!
