When Jessica Wanstall from Sittingbourne, Kent went on a vacation to Spain, and when she traveled to the Ebro River (also in Spain) to go for a little fishing trip, she had no idea that she would go home catching more than "tiddlers." In a 20 minute battle of muscle over monster, Jessica, with the help of her father Mark, reeled in a 109 pound, 9 foot long monster of a catfish.
"I didn't realize just how big it was until I saw the photos afterwards. I look tiny next to it," she said after the whole thing was over. "My dad thought it was going to be a small one and I told him it didn't feel small when I picked up the rod. It was really hard work pulling it in and my arms turned to jelly. My dad helped lift it onto the bank and I stood back and just laughed when I saw it. It was massive." The picture on the right gives you an 
idea of the size of the behemoth catfish. "Jessica normally catches tiddlers (hey, there's that word again!) but just loves a day's fishing," he said. After they took a snapshot of the fish and the fisherwoman, they threw the catch back into the water.
Regular readers of this blog will have noticed that this isn't really a cryptozoological happening, but it's summer and I just can't resist a great fish story.
