Dicker Fisch - Daniel Bennett fängt den mit 95 Kilo schwersten Rochen Grossbritanniens
Dicker Fisch - Daniel Bennett fängt den mit 95 Kilo schwersten Rochen Grossbritanniens / 210714
[Daniel Bennett with the 208lb skate caught off the Isle of Skye, smashing the current land record by 40lbs. An angler has smashed the record for the biggest fish ever caught from British shores . Chuffed Daniel Bennett, 26, snared the massive beast with a rod and line off the Isle of Skye after a two-HOUR battle to bring it ashore. At 208lbs, the fish weighs more than a female gorilla, a heavyweight boxer or a road legal moped. A spokesman for the British Record Fish Committee confirmed it is the largest fish recorded as being caught on its current record list. The 208lb skate, Daniel, who works in a fishing supplies shop, used a rod and line to land the massive beast - the largest fish ever caught from shore in Britain and weighing the same as a GORILLA. Daniel, of Whitby, North Yorks., said: "The key to catching the fish was having a lot of patience. My back is absolutely killing me now though. "We've never caught anything on that scale before, and we guessed it weighed about 150lb. But it was 208lbs. I can't believe it." The skate, a rare protected fish species that looks similar to a stingray, fell for Daniel's bait of half a mackerel fillet. It measured a whopping 88.25in long by 66.75in wide - and was about as heavy as a motorbike. The largest fish caught from British shores before it was a 159lb skate which was reeled in on the Isle of Lewis in 1994.] (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)

Adventure angler Steve Townson achieved a lifelong ambition when he landed this massive wild arapaima estimated at 250lbs from Middle River Essequibo in Guyana, South America.
Steve, a Brit who has travelled the world to catch exotic fish and who runs the UK-based company, South American angling holiday specialists Amazon-Angler.com, caught the mighty fish, plus another weighing around 150lb on a whole 2lb piranha bait using a 100lb mono rubbing leader, 100lb Power Pro braid mainline and an 8/0 Cat Circle hook.
Said Steve
