Dedicated angler Adrian Hancock landed this huge fish when he went to Thailand for a fishing holiday.

A scaffolder from Dunston, Chesterfield, Adrian caught the huge fish on a 25lb line using a mixture of bread and coconut milk as bait.
He has also visited northern Spain recently and enjoyed great success of the Ebro river. His biggest catch there was a Wells Catfish that weighed in at 134lbs.
