Monster fish caught by Hove angler
3:00pm Wednesday 5th August 2009 in News By Emily-Ann Elliott
A caretaker was left exhausted after he reeled in this fishy brute.
The giant catfish, weighing in at a whopping 190lbs, was hooked by holidaying Joe Price.
The 60-year-old of Courtenay Gate, Hove, said he was shocked to see the “enormous” fish head emerging from the water.
He added: “I have never felt so much power in all my life, it tried to pull me into the river five or six times.”
The 8ft beast, weighing as much as a professional wrestler, was one of five catfish Mr Price pulled from he river Ebro in North-East Spain.
The trip, organised by Catmaster Tours, was a sixtieth birthday present from Mr Price’s wife Anne.

A PROPER delicacy when cooked right. Yummy :D
If you go to Tenessee it's as common to eat as cod is here.

I caught a cold when I was on holiday but I don't suppose the Argus will print anything about it unless I run colds-r-us....
