wuchikubo Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Looks legit to me too, 38 Kg, about 83.6 lbs, I wouldn't want to hold that thing too long in my arms! Sure looks like a back breaker! 3rd pic looks like the guy is having a little fun trying to hold it still! HF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Rogers Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 You would wonder how a fish like that could swim around. That's one giant carp. Zib could you post the link to the video of the guy catching it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hmmmm.....38 kilograms = 83.8 pounds.<bR><BR> In an earlier thread this year, this one was caught by Gary Hagues. He broke his own record by catching one weighing in at 87 pounds 2 ounces. Here is the news story for that one....<BR><BR> http://www.nypost.com/seven/12062006/news/...eirdbuttrue.htm <br><BR> There are other sites who have the story documented, but this is the only "news" site that had it. Mostly the story was on blogs and fishing sites. <BR><BR> Here is a youtube video showing the weighing of it.<BR><BR> <object width="320" height="240"><param name="movie" value=" name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="320" height="240"></embed></object><BR><BR> At any rate...83.8 pounds is a HUGE fish!
