After battling for almost an hour with his hands gripped to
his rod and adrenaline pumping through his body, a British tourist has caught
the world's biggest Siamese carp - weighing the same as a person.
Andy Harman, from Reigate, Surrey, finally reeled in the
whopping 10st 6lbs fish while on holiday in Thailand - after he had it on the
line for an exhausting 50 minutes, reports AP.
The keen angler, who was holidaying at the idyllic three-acre
Palm Tree Lagoon fishing resort in Ratchaburi, used the simple bait of bread to
lure the mammoth fish in - followed by a huge amount of patience and muscle
work.
At
150lbs, the monster weighed in at 16lbs heavier than the previous record ,
which, strangely, was also caught by someone from Surrey on holiday in
Thailand.
Keith
Williams, of Carshalton, got the perfect 56th birthday present when he caught a
134lb carp at Gillham's fishing resort in Krabi.
