UK female fisher catches record |
Record Catfish caught in Spain |
Miss Turness, an events director, said: ‘My boyfriend is really into fishing so when we got together seven or eight years ago I got into it too. It was a case of go fishing with him or don’t see him.’
‘I just had to hold on for my life,’ she said. ‘It took about 30 minutes, but I wasn’t going to give up. I was amazed when I saw how big it was.’
She added: ‘My boyfriend is quite gutted. We took it in turns on the rods, and this just happened to be my turn.’ The previous record for the biggest freshwater fish caught by a British woman was held by Sheila Penfold, 56, from Wandsworth, South London, who caught a 214lb (97.2 kg) catfish in Spain last year.The Wels catfish also called Sheatfish, is found in wide areas of central, southern, and eastern Europe, and near the Baltic and Caspian Seas.
Wow, is that the prefect girlfriend? I think I'm in love!
