The Largest Freshwater Fish Ever Caught. By A Woman. In Britain.

This massive 69lb 8oz catfish was caught by Bev Street smashing the womens record for largest freshwater fish in Britain. The fish was hooked early in the morning while Mrs Street was fast asleep! After waking to the rod alarm, she battled the beast for more then an hour before she was able to land it.


Mrs Street, 46, from Skegness, said: “For me, it isn’t about breaking other people’s records. I’m not interested in the limelight.
