    Three quarter of the entire series is about that guy chasing some kind of catfish.

    I wasn't even aware that the UK had catfish.

    Nice fish for the UK. In Italy, Spain and by now Germany they get caught in that size pretty often and up to 100kg+.

    im a keen fisherman and also watched that(it was not a catfish),i belive at the end of the day due to the fish being so big just a slap off them was enought to send any1 overboard,think we seen the power as when in that program he got into a homemade fishpen with them and tryed to catch them

    As for the catfish,i belive one of france's rivers are best known throughout the world for these beasts.

    Why is it news when a 120lb U.K. woman catches a catfish?

    Mostly because it makes for good photos in the papers - oh, and also because catfish are the scourge of their habitat. Lots have been introduced in ponds with the goal to make bigger, more exciting fishing tournaments, with the net result of the damn things eating every fish, frog and insect in said ponds. If they grew legs they'd be attacking poultry coops and keeling your rubbish bins over.

    They are the fish equivalent for locusts or bull toads.

    Great catch, and best part is she didn't kill it simply for the trophy. Now some buffoon will go and catch it to kill it.
