Fish Story - Man catches Giant Carp

by BBelew57 on May 29th, 2007

I might be the victim of somebody's photoshop abilities. After all, I believed the one about the giant cat and enormous bunny rabbits.

Some British dude could make a killing if he were able to breed and sell in Japan the carp he caught in at a lake in France.

The Japanese have koi (carp) ponds in their yards. There is a baseball team, the Hiroshima Carp.

And, the Japanese have flying carp, koi nobori, that they display on Boy's day during golden week.

The carp weighed a whopping 40+ kilograms (88.6lbs).

It was caught with a mix bait of tuna, shrimp paste, yeast and tiger nuts. (I want to know how he caught the tiger and got his nuts.) Tiger nuts apparently are some kind of hard pulse from a plant.

The fish was 1lb 4ozs more than the heaviest one caught to date. After celebrating, the boys through him in the water and sent in that tiger who lost his nuts to catch him.

What's the biggest fish story you have to tell?
