Fishing on a river inland, Eddy Widdup had been hoping to catch a pike.
But when he finally landedthis whopper, he was astonished to find it was a sea bass – three miles from the coast.
Mr Widdup, weighed it at 11lb 14oz, photographed it and threw it back into the River Avon near Christchurch, Dorset, before it headed towards the sea.
Catch of the day: Widdup with his 11lb 14oz carp after fishing in the River Avon
Eddy, an advertising executive from Bournemouth, caught the fish at the Royalty Fishery at Christchurch.
He said: ‘I go pike fishing there quite often and after several fruitless hours I headed off to a pike swim where I have been successful in the past.
‘I cast my herring and sat back. After about an hour my float went so I reeled it in and basically all hell broke loose.
‘It went stripped 50 yards of line off my reel had me wondering what the hell I had hooked.
‘When it came to the surface I thought it was a funny looking pike but it was only when I netted it I realised what it was.
‘I literally said out loud ‘its a blimmin sea bass?’ or words similar to that. It looked big but when the scales said 11 pounds 14 ounces I knew it was something special.
‘I was about a mile away from the nearest angler so I decided to set my camera to timer and took a few photos of me holding it before putting her back in the water.

‘After a few seconds she went off like a rocket and gave me a good soaking. Most bass should be 20 miles out to sea eating the sandeels at this time of the year.’
Had Eddy kept hold of the bass he could have sold it for about 100 pounds to a fish restaurant.
Marine scientist Dr Mark Everard said: ‘Bass are marine fish but in the summer they tend to come inshore and up estuaries.
‘It is incredibly unusual and weird to have a sea bass that far up a freshwater river at this time of year, especially one that is so big.
‘This has been the driest year since 1977 and our rivers are at very low levels at the moment.
‘The low flows means the saline boundary moves up the river so it is more saltier and the bass feels more at home.’
