Mr Isbister, 38, from Cunningburgh, Shetland, pulled in the catch – which tips the scales at 67.46lb – after a half-hour battle which smashes the existing 23-year-old British record by 10lb. He was on a fishing trip with Northmavine Charters on Saturday when he caught the ling six miles off Muckle Flugga, the most northerly of the Shetlands.
