A fisherman in Italy has caught the largest ever freshwater catch in Europe and the biggest Wels catfish in the world.
The catfish weighed in at just over 113 kg (17.8 stones) and measured 2.5m (8.2') and was caught in the River Po at Mantova, northern Italy by angler Roberto Godi . The massive fish took 45 minutes to land using a bait of bream. The catfish was photographed and then returned to the water unharmed.
