A fishing enthusiast was shocked to discover he'd caught an enormous common octopus "with suckers as big as 50 pence pieces".
Chris Rushton pulled in the creature, which weighed a whopping 18lbs, while enjoying a spot of fishing off the south-west coast of Jersey.
The Wiltshire resident, who was visiting the island on a work trip and had a day off, was on board the charter vessel Anna III on Tuesday when the catch was made, as reported in the Jersey Evening Post.
