biggest goldfish ever caught
Earlier in the day I'd joked that if I caught a big fish I'd call it Billy, so of course the goldfish got the name. I put him back in the lake straight away. Some people have said that if I do catch him again though it might be an idea to give him to someone who has a big tank. Apparently it's the biggest gold goldfish ever caught in the UK and I've heard it only weighs 2lbs less than the world record, so I'm very pleased and proud.. In 2008, Goldie the pet goldfish from Folkestone, Kent, was branded the biggest in Britain. It measured 15.7ins in length and weighed 2lbs.
