The Most Important Piece Of News You're Likely To Read This Year

Iron Maiden's guitarist Adrian Smith has caught a massive fish.

He currently holds the honour for bagging the biggest catch this season - the fish clocked in at an impressive 7 pounds and 14 ounces.

Smith made this revelation in the latest issue of Angler's Mail, where he also talked his habit for taking worms on tour.

"I get to fish a lot of wild and wonderful places on tour," he explained. "We used to keep worms in containers under the tourbus and in summer they would get a bit savoury. I also remember a maggot scare in a very plush hotel in Amsterdam when I was fishing in the canal there. They're certainly not on the room service menu."
