Fisherman Dies Trying to Reel In "The Big One"

(AHN) -- A Hungarian fisherman died trying to reel in a 150-pound 4-foot catfish that got caught on his hook, says the United Press International.

Gabor Komlosy, 53, got the catfish on his line in the Szamos River and apparently wouldn’t let go of his fishing pole when the fish tried to swim away.

Hungarian police say the fish probably pulled Komlosy down the riverbank and he hit his head on a rock and drowned.

The fish was still hooked to Komlosy’s fishing line when his body was pulled out of the river.
