PARTNERS and Aldi managers Stacey Mulqueen and Adam Whitehouse delivered the goods during a getaway down in Devon.
Fishing at popular Anglers Paradise, the pair’s catches were capped by a whopping 94 lb catfish for Stacey. It set a new complex record.
Fishing the Main Carp Lake, Stacey also added an 82 lb heavyweight (pictured above).
Hulk in the dark – Stacey’s 94-pounder, amidst the torchlight at Anglers Paradise.
And Adam, also 24, chipped in with a 64 lb catfish during their stay at Anglers Paradise.
Based in Birmingham, West Midlands, Adam said: “Stacey’s biggest was caught on a block rig with 20 mm halibut pellets, and our fish are personal bests.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t take great photographs of the 94-pounder, as our camera packed up.
“We also caught a few carp of between 15-25 lb and some baby catfish of around 3 lb in the session.”
Adam releases his 64 lb catfish.
Stacey’s biggest Anglers Paradise cat is one of the biggest catfish caught by a female angler in the UK.
But there have been bigger… at least two ton-up 100 lb cats have been matted.
They include a fish of 120 lb from Norfolk’s Oakwood Park to Kirstin Hole in 2012 a and an 110-pounder from Crow Green in Essex.
Catfish ace Dean Aldridge said: “It’s not the biggest to a female angler in this country but those are two very big fish to Stacey. Very well done.”
