Woman Lands Biggest Freshwater Fish Ever Caught by a British Female Angler

British anglers love to travel to Spain to try their luck with massive Wels catfish, and they've been landing some jaw-droppers.

The most recent comes from Alexa Turness, 28, who was fishing with her boyfriend on legendary River Segre in Spain. Turness hooked into this 215-pound, 8-foot, 4-inch, catfish that weighed nearly twice as much as she did. 

According to the Daily Telegraph, It is believed to be the biggest freshwater fish ever caught by a British female angler.
