I have not caught any massive cats from the UK, my biggest is 35lb 8oz caught whilst carp fishing.
About ten years ago Grafton Mere had two small brown bullhead catfish in there, this was before the wels were introduced. My Dad managed to catch one and it weighed 14oz. Sounds tiny I know, but I think the british record is only about a pound.
