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.
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.

Listening intently to his ipod throughout the artistic process - because music helps him - London-born Stephen uses only graphic pens as he commits his photographic memory to the high-grade paper.
Stephen sketches his layout in pencil first and then scales it within the border, first adding in landmarks before filling out in more intricate detail.

A man who turned blue after self-medicating for a skin condition says his hue is
lightening.

Paul Karason, 58, has the strange Papa Smurf look as a side effect of using a silver
compound which he used more than a decade ago to treat a bad case of dermatitis on his face.
But he told NBC's Today Show that his skin is lightening because he is now using the self-administered doses of colloidal silver less.

Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver in a liquid base - in this case, distilled water.
Silver has antibacterial properties and has been used to fight infection for thousands of years.
Karson also revealed he has recently broke off his relationship with partner Jackie Northrup during his interview today, who he was engaged to when he last appeared on the U.S. show.
He said: '[My skin] has lightened up, it is not major but it is lightening up. I am actually going to try green.'
