Luke Littler reels in the Big Fish literally as darts star, 17, takes up brand new sport and fans say ‘kid doesn’t miss’
LUKE LITTLER has literally reeled in the big fish after taking up a brand-new sport.
The 17-year-old darts sensation has impressed fans after his massive catch in the Target Sports Stars Fishing Championship.
Littler starred in the annual competition which gathers sports personalities from across the board to compete in the fishing tournament.
He tackled the fishing in a four-hour team event alongside three darts rivals in new US Masters champ Rob Cross, James Wade and Adrian Lewis.
British boxers Natasha Jonas and Terri Harper, sports promoter Barry Hearn, badminton personality Gail Emms and Rugby League trio Josh Charnley, Tom Briscoe and Sam Powell also featured.
And Littler did not disappoint either after his big catch was shared on Instagram.
Target Darts captioned the picture of Littler holding his fish: “Is there anything he can’t do? The Nuke reels in the big fish…literally!”
When asked what darts skills he used to make the catch the teen said: “Maybe the power to lift the fish up.”
And when hesitated to say what his fishing name would be the interviewer suggested “Luke Fishler?”
The Warrington whizkid has angled his way to the top at the oche after reaching the World Championship final in January aged just 16.

Littler has been crowned Premier League Darts king, as well as winning the Bahrain Masters plus the Belgian and Austrian Opens.
Meanwhile earlier this month “The Nuke” split from his girlfriend Eloise Milburn.
He started dating the 21-year-old weeks before he became a household name after reaching the PDC World Darts Championship in January.
