The biggest carp ever caught!

Few anglers complain that their catch is too large - but the man who landed this monster has reason to feel a little disappointed.The fish was so big that his scales were unable to weigh it, denying him a certain world record.

The Thai fisherman, known as Kik (pictured right) was left to estimate that the Siamese giant carp weighed 256lb or 18st - 36lb more than his scales could bear.
The world record for any member of the carp family, which includes goldfish, is 88lb.
Kik’s boss, Jean-Francois Helias, who runs fishing tours in Thailand, said: “He hooked the catch of a lifetime that some anglers would sell their soul to the devil for.
“It is the biggest carp ever caught on rod and line and kept slapping people with its tail.”

I would think that you would make more of an effort if your catch was almost three times bigger than the record.
