Fishing fan John Whittaker was delighted to reel in a 13-stone catfish on an angling holiday.
But he had no witnesses - because his friends had already given up for the day and headed off for a drink.
John, 45, from Stockport in Greater Manchester, had headed to the River Ebro in Spain with two pals to try and land one of the area's giant fish. |

So he was over the moon to catch the 185lb whopper - but disappointed that his friends Dave Watkins and Nick Duffield had already called it a day and gone to the pub.
Luckily, angling guide Gary Sheridan rushed to the bank and helped John haul in his huge catch.
John, a manager at a building firm, said his two friends didn't believe his luck when he told them what had happened.
He said: 'When I told them what I'd caught, they were clearly under the impression it was a fisherman's tale.
'Then I took the pictures to prove it and forwarded them on they couldn't believe their eyes. |
