A giant 200-pound catfish was caught by a British angler named Ditch Ballard. The catfish dragged his boat almost a mile after an hour-long battle in freezing temperatures, reported Newsweek.
The fisherman was carp fishing on the bank of the River Ebro in Spain when he saw something huge attached to his hook. It was a nine-foot catfish.
He shared his experience in an Instagram post, he wrote, "Line was uncontrollably ripping off the reel so I untied my boat and set sail, without pausing to grab my hat or my shoes from the bivvy."
He then decided to jump in and untie his boat. "The next hour was simply painful; as my muscles fatigued and the adrenaline wore off my body temp began to crash, and I found myself crouched in the bottom of the boat trying to hold on whilst shivering uncontrollably," he shared.
