Thats still a freakin huge carp man.

Yeah doesnt look as big in the original photo but that is still a HUGH carp, 110 kg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, think the record in the UK is about 28 KG, I know they get to 50 + kg in Spain and France

I believe I read the UK record being 33 or 53 pounds can't remember now, took a bit to dig this puppy up. 110kg for a freshwater fish is rather insane.

The last accurate weighing is saw was 48lbs 3oz for a carp in the uk, believe it was a large mirrior.

Am i the only person here who sees that carp and things "damn it almost looks like an osperemus" i know its not but it reminds me of them
