Flooding Across Europe – Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Spain

Thousands of people across Europe have been displaced by major flooding due to heavy rain. The man in the photo below was obviously quite lucky, both for catching a fish, and for not being in areas where the flood waters reached over 3 feet!

I really love Boston’s Big Picture features, I’d also like to hope that one day I could do something like that here with Fishing Fury. But until that time, this image should serve as inspiration.

11 Year Old Catches 9 Foot Catfish!

Jessica Wanstall is only 4ft 10in tall and weighs less then 85 pounds, but has caught a bigger fish then many of us ever will. She landed a 9 foot long wels catfish that was almost 200lbs while fishing in Spain’s River Ebro. Jessica had a little help from her dad, and released the big cat after a quick photo.

This catch will eclipse the world record for a freshwater fish caught by an angler aged 16 and under.
