14th July 2010 - Sixteen year old Nick Richards, from Camberley, Surrey, was fishing for carp in a lake in Poole, Dorset, when he noticed a flash of orange under the water. He positioned his rod and bread bait in its direction and seconds later he began reeling in the mystery fish, which turned out to be a Goldfish weighing 5lbs. It is difficult to confirm that it is the biggest ever caught in the UK, because it is an ornamental fish and the record won't be recognised by the British Records Fish Committee. But still a very nice fish to catch.
