Big cat landed after a two hour long fight

Brandon Tutthill had a big surprise when a carp fishing session produced this huge 95lb catfish. The angler from Essex was fishing at his local Slough House Lakes when he became engaged in a two-hour battle with the specimen moggie, that took his white pop-up fished on a size 6 hook.

“My whole body was hurting as it came closer to the bank, but then it would shoot off again,” said Brandon. I thought I was never going to land it, but after more than two hours I had some friendly help from some anglers who helped me net it.”
