An Austrian schoolboy landed a seven foot fish on his first ever fishing trip.
Holger Vukovich, 14, had to use a winch to haul the animal out of the water because it was so heavy. He caught the eight stone cat fish when his grandad took him and a school friend out on his first fishing trip to a pond in his home town of Baumgarten.
He said: "We actually wanted to fish for carp, but almost straight away I hooked a fish. At first I was a bit scared because the fish pulled so hard I almost ended up in the water. "But then I managed to start reeling it in. The problem was it was so heavy that we needed to use a winch to drag it out. It took us about half an hour."
Vukovich is half a stone lighter and almost a foot and a half smaller than the fish he caught. He added: "I am going to have the head of the fish stuffed and will keep it as a trophy. I am going to be a regular fisher now although it will have to be good to beat the excitement of the first time."
