Angler's shock after he finds a rat inside 8lb pike

An angler was left aghast after he inspected the insides of an 8lb pike he had caught - and discovered it had swallowed a RAT.

Stunned Adam Mitchell, 43, landed the pike while out fishing in Glastonbury Tor, Somerset.

But while Adam was unhooking the fish he noticed a rat's foot poking out of its mouth.
