A massive eel caught by fishermen off the coast of Devon narrowly missed the British record.
Eel misses out on world record
The eel - which is about 7ft (2.1m) long - was accidentally caught in the nets of a trawler, with Plymouth Fisheries saying it was 131lb (59kg), just under the UK line-caught record of 133lb 4oz (60kg).
Pete Bromley, manager of Plymouth Fisheries, said: ''It just happens to be a very unlucky big fish.''
The eel was recently brought in to the fish market, where it was caught on camera appearing to be about 20ft (6m) long and dwarfing the fishermen behind it.
