Thursday, March 15, 2018, 3:16 PM - Everything is bigger in Australia.

No, really: Have you seen the size of their spiders?

Now, we turn to the sea, where Sue Elcock, 68, caught a 136-lb fish off the country's west coast.

Elcock, who hails from the United Kingdom, caught the bass grouper while on vacation with her family.

"I couldn't believe it, I didn't even know what it was,” she said. “Obviously, I don't go fishing in England. I play golf," she told CNN.

Elcock's son Simon says he's proud and jealous of his mom's catch.


According to CNN, Elcock has become a bit of a local celebrity, with some calling her a fishing "legend".
