UK man catches two massive fish on same day

Catching a massive carp can be seen as a bit of good fortune.

But netting two of Britain's biggest fish in the same day is just daft.

However, this is exactly what Brian Humphries did on a fishing trip to a lake in Berkshire.

He managed to reel in a 27kg carp known as the Parrot and followed this up with a 18kg common carp called the Big Common.

Mr Humphries said struggling with the Parrot, which is the biggest-ever catch in the UK, was like fighting Mike Tyson – and I'm sure no one would fancy 12 rounds with him.

"I've been fishing for 40 years and this is the biggest fish I've ever caught. The Parrot is well known in fishing fraternities and all the big names want to catch him," he added.

Mr Humphries said landing the second fish was the icing on the cake of a great day.
