115-pound catfish caught in UK

[mudsucker]

I once hooked way too big a shark in a tidal river back east. He pulled HARD and fast and I never even had the thought I would go in. I was more worried about trying to bank him if I won. Luckily he made a run and went up on a mud bar about 2' deep out in the middle. Water and mud sprayed, fins and tail were thrashing, and I was all alone and scared. Then the 85 lb test broke and all went quiet again except for my heart.
