This pic is a couple of years old, its my daughter with my stepson. I cant believe how such a small pond could hold so many big fish.
Hybrid Carp?

Not for all the fish that I have pulled out of there. I have caught catfish up to 8lbs, bass up to 3lbs (and have seen bigger) a 4lb koi, misc sunfish and lots of other big carp.
Looking at that carp it looks like a Ghostie (ghost carp as we call them in the UK) they are a hybird of koi and common carp, still an awsome specimen.
Yes Dan looks a bit like a Ghost due to the dark gray/Black scull patterns but could also be a pure common carp as the ghosts are normaly whiter in the boddy.
Ghost carp or Ghost Koi are a cross between a King Carp and a metallic 'Ogon Koi'. This is not a hybridisation between Species but between Carp Varieties of the same species.
Conventional crosses to produce Ghost Koi are Purachina (Platinum Ogon) produce White Ghost Koi : Yamabuki ( Yellow Ogon) produce Gold Ghost Koi.
They come in all scale patters associated with King Carp but are distinguished by the dark gray/Black scull patterns on the head.(yours has this)
Ghost Carp are usually white but different colored Ghost Carp can be found.
Ghost carp are renowned for the way they fight with the typical hybrid vigor, possibly three times harder than their parent species.
As you say there are Koi in the lake there is a posability that that is a Ghost.
