A British fisher landed a whopping 30-stone catfish after ‘the fight of his life’ to reel in the monster in Thailand.
Dean McEwan, 36, an oil rig engineer from Renfrewshire in Scotland, was stunned when he hooked in the massive Mekong catfish. He said the huge fish gave him the ‘fight of his life’ and it took him an hour-and-a-half to reel it in.The 7ft long specimen tipped the scales at a mighty 30 stone . Dean said: ‘The first time you feel the true power of these fish, you understand why they hold the title of the hardest freshwater fighting fish in the world.
‘It was midday and hot when I took my eye off the float for a second only to hear the braid whipping off the spool on my rod.’The whopper is said to be the biggest fish caught by a Brit in Thailand
