KURT Price was delighted with the huge fish he caught and ate – until he realised it would have been a record-breaker.
Kurt, 25, reeled in the monster sea bass on a weekend trip to Tenby, south-west Wales.
It was only after he had cooked and eaten it that he researched the record books and realised his catch would have been the biggest of its kind.
The record for a shore-caught sea bass is 19lb 11oz. Angling experts who have seen a picture of Kurt’s catch believe it was bigger than 20lb.
But Kurt, of Cwmbran, Monmouthshire, cannot claim the record because he failed to weigh the fish – and has eaten the evidence.
Kurt said the fish was very tasty but added: “I’m gutted.”
