Partially blind grandma batch a giant 15st 4lb catfish
The 56-year-old had to be directed by husband Alan and son Arthur as she fought for 30 minutes to land the prized 214lb catch.
Mrs Penfold used a bait of halibut pellets to snare the 8ft 2ins long catfish on the River Ebro near Barcelona.
'I grabbed hold of it and was immediately pulled towards the water. Luckily I managed to stop myself and I started to reel it in.
After having her picture taken with it, Mrs Penfold returned the catfish back into the water in good health.
The record for the biggest fish caught in Britain by a woman is a 69lb 8oz catfish caught by Bev Street, 46, from Skegness.
The only freshwater fish that grow to that size in the world are either sturgeon or catfish. As far as I'm aware there has been no sturgeon of that size caught by a woman before and the Ebro is home to probably the biggest catfish in the world.

Burj Khalifa Tower- The TALLEST Building in the World
Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum renamed the tower Burj Khalifa after the president of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of the neighbouring emirate of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan. Interesting to note that Abu Dhabi has facilitated $25 billion in bailout funds for Dubai in the past year. Without Abu Dhabi help, this mega project might be delayed for years.
But as the city celebrates, the building is mainly vacant and could leave officials red-faced. Even though many of the building's 200 stories are unfinished, organisers are celebrating the launch with an arsenal of fireworks. Isn't that a bit early.. ;p
