A man "dream came true" after he stopped to look at a picture of his dad, who recently passed away.
Raymond Sweeney, 53, a keen angler from Liverpool, caught a two stone fish on Saturday after he was convinced to leave the house by the memory of his late father. Raymond has been fishing since he was seven, when his dad first took him out to show him the ropes.
Raymond said he was at home after buying new rods torn between relaxing for the night or heading out to the nearby Stanley Park Lake to test them out. He said that his mind was made up when he looked at a picture of his late dad hanging on the wall.
