A Littlehampton fisherman has won a six-day angling competition in Thailand with a monster catch.

Jake Casson, 34, of Beaumont Park, netted the 180lb Siamese carp after battling for over an hour to wear the animal down.

Mr Casson, who caught the giant fish on a hair-rigged, double halibut pellet bait, took home a tidy prize of £1,250.
