A port is proving a good catch.

Dominic Camilleri has claimed a club record at Shoreham Port.

He pulled in a gigantic cod weighing 40lb 12oz.

Mr Camilleri is a member of the South Coast Angling Club based in Shoreham. They have beaten the club record four times in two months fishing at Shoreham Port.

South Coast Angling Club Secretary Reg Phillips said: “We really have enjoyed a cracking run of fish from our waters of late, and the recent run of form has got our members wondering if there is a 50 out there that can be lured to the scales. I certainly wouldn’t bet against it.”

That is an old fish, and it probably resembles Katie Price in some ways

Pitting your wits against a fish. Not much to be proud about really eh?
