He spent more than an hour on the once in a lifetime catch, grappling with the 8ft3in fish until his "legs were shaking". After 65 minutes, he finally hauled the monster on board his boat, Predator.
 

It had a mighty 7ft 'wingspan' and weighed in at 300lbs, cementing its place as the biggest ever Giant Common Skate recorded in the world. The previous record was held by a 208lb skate that was reeled in near the Isle of Skye in 2014.
