A girl of nine has landed a monster bluefin tuna more than five times her own weight and worth £70,000.

Izzy Crotty battled with the 400lb fish that was so strong she had to attach her rod to the boat to stop herself getting pulled in.

The schoolgirl spent 30 minutes reeling in the huge specimen with the help of her father, John, 20 miles off the coast of Plymouth, Devon.

Catch of the day: Izzy Crotty, 9, landed a 400lb bluefin tuna off the coast of Plymouth, Devon

Bluefin tuna is a highly-sought after delicacy in Japan where it has been known to sell for £175 per pound.

That would have made Izzy's fish worth a staggering £70,000.
