115-pound catfish caught in UK

[NatefromOgden]

Having lived in England for 4 years and observed how they fish over there, this fisherman might well have been pulled in- or waded in to keep the fish from breaking off. They typically fish with VERY light line on extremely long- 18 ft rods and tiny hooks. The Brit fisherman simply has no concept of a catfish or bass rod with 20 pound test line. It's bizarre to watch a fishing tournament take place; your spot on the river is pulled from a hat or bucket and they fish the assigned spot for the entire day, keeping and recording every fish they catch for weigh-in at the end of the day. There's no getting up and moving to a better spot, whereever you drew a spot, that's where you fish.
