The 495 species that got away for Sussex angler

A veteran angler has been declared the reel deal, after landing 495 different species.

Compulsive fisherman Dave Park, 74, has been fishing for 68 years and says he is just as happy hunting sticklebacks and tiddlers as he is monsters from the deep.

Dave said he was hooked after first dropping a line in 1941, and plans to catch as many fish as he can while he is fit and able.
 

Dave, of Hurtis Hill, Crowborough, said: "There are about thirty thousand different fish species worldwide so the ones I have caught so far are just a small sample.

"I haven't given up on any of the others yet.

"I'm currently on the hunt for a ten-spined stickleback from one of my local dykes."

The stickleback is about 4cm in length and is the smallest freshwater fish in Britain.

The capture of such a tiddler is the subject of academic debate.
