Part 2 of Angling Direct Holidays top man Peter Collingsworth's trip to Thailand.

Peter Collingsworth, director of UK tour operator Angling Direct Holidays, had a dream to one day catch a world record. Well he had to go all the way to Thailand to do it and achieved his dream on the fly too!

By kind permission of Peter we have been allowed to bring his story to you over the next few days in 3 parts which was recently shared with his own clients.

You will find contact details at the bottom of the page if you want to target some of these amazing fish yourself.

When John Mitchell of Hong Kong visited Francois Helias's Fishing Adventures Thailand operation, he knew he would have a good chance at some interesting fish with his fly gear. He did not expect to come away with a potential world record catfish however, even though he is already a 2 time world record holder for Barramundi caught on the fly, also in Thailand.

Here in John's own words specially for Fish and Fly is his account of how he came to hook and land such a magnificent fish!
