An angler is celebrating after reeling in a 'monster' catch which has earned him two world records. Warren Harrison, 52, managed to catch the biggest brace of all time, consisting of two enormous mirror carp, during a fishing trip to Hungary. Warren, who's from Denton, said he was amazed when he fished a 94lb and an 87lb mirror carp out of the lake, both within 24 hours.

And he was even more shocked when he went on to catch the biggest ever common carp in history, which weighed a whopping 90lb, all at the Euro Aqua lake, in Hungary. Warren, who has been an angler for more than 30 years, said he was delighted with his achievement.
