A 260 lb carp

[The Straight Story]

World’s Largest 260 Pound Carp

A Thai fisherman caught what is believed to be the largest carp in the history. It weights about 260 lbs, while the old record was only 88 lbs.

The guy was just out testing his newly built fishing rod in Bung Sam Lan Lake and got lucky, ended up catching the biggest carp ever in the history.

1. Fake?

Those guys seem to be having a pretty easy time holding up at least 130lbs. and that carp has an especially rigid belly.

5. I can't thank you enough!

Eight years searching on the internet and here it is! A whole page of cool carp pics. :woohoo:
Lord, if you're gonna take me, take me now!

After looking at those pictures I see that big one could be real. I just thought they'd be floppier than that first photo, but I see they all look rigid. Still surprised at those guys though. They'd each be holding roughly their own weight in a mid-curl position. It's the adrenaline I guess.

2. Oh--CARP. I was wondering if you needed a plunger or can of Glade.

Carry on.

7. Worthless bottom feeding life form that spends its time eating other fish's excrement

It should be the official mascot of the McCain Campaign
