A rare cast of the biggest salmon caught by rod and line in British waters is expected to fetch up to £6000 at auction.

The record-breaking fish was caught by Georgina Ballantine in October 1922 while she was fishing from a boat on the River Tay.

Assisted by her father, it took her two hours to play and catch the huge salmon, which was 54 inches long and weighed in at 64lbs.

The original salmon was cast in plaster by P. D. Malloch and is held at Glendelvine Estate near Dunkeld in Perthshire.

Only 12 limited edition replicas were cast in fibreglass by taking a mould from the original plaster cast.

They were commissioned for sale by Farlows, the world famous fishing shop on Pall Mall in London.

The cast for sale is estimated at £4000 to £6000 and will go up for auction at Bonhams next Sporting Sale in Edinburgh on Wednesday October 25.
