World’s Largest 260 Pound Carp

A Thai fisherman caught what is believed to be the largest carp in the history.Â 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.

I find this information kind of sad. To think, how long would it have taken that carp to grow to its enormous size? Why can’t we just leave “amazing” species alone? Do we have to exploit our natural resources so much? And that carp is just a small part at the end of the spectrum.

learn your history!!!

these carp and en-dangered, it is only through fishing that money is made to fund the breeding program!

if not for the breeding program then the species would DIE!

something to do with the Dam that is across the river on the way to the breeding grounds!

ok so what should we do? leave these “amazing”species alone to die?

or promote the fishing industry to save the species?

as the place where Kik landed this Carp is Bung Sam Ran, it was landed in what can only be described as a DNA bank for the future of this species.
what keeps this place running? FISHING

it was a catch and release so the fish was not harmed!!!!!

you can see from the reflection that the scales are just printed or painted on fabric

ok this is a interesting one!

I have spoken with Kik who landed this carp and I feel that this story needs to be told.

class this as hearsay if you want, class it as my opinion if you want, I dont care.

well I was walking along at Bung Sam Ran and there was Kik I said hello and mentioned that it was a nice pic of his carp.
he thanked me, but when I questioned him about the weight 120?kg

his reply was no! it was 82kg!!!

so you have to wonder what is going on here!!

why would this be posted as a 120 kg carp?

easy promotion for fishing!!!!!
the company he guides for!!! I have even read a story on how this was a clean fight and within the IGFA rules but the scales were not big enough.

ok so a respected guide I hear that they were testing the new rod that KIK had build and loaded it with the biggest ball f bread you ever did see, well there was a big hit so they all had a go with the rod testing the action.

it was a massive supprise to se a carp!! as they dont take this bait as a rule.

ok they then put it on the scales and it weighed in at 82kg. hmmmmmmm
that fish does look to be that weight, I have photos of 50kg and an estermated 95 kg and I would say 82 would be correct.

ok I hate to see our Thailand fishing industry getting things like this put forward.
I also want to state that Kik is a fantastic guide and a great person and in no way is is the claim of the weight related to him!!!

Not 260 lbs. I have caught a 28 lb carp myself but it was only 32 inches long and 36 inches around. From my personal experience I say it’s faked!

i was on my holaday in lap land and i was fishing in a good looking spot. And i caught a little perch but i didnt hold my perch because a baby pike ate it and then a polor bear bit my line and snapped it, i was really angry. but i casted back out and hooked on to a gudgeon and when i was realing it in a shark come and ate my gudgeon ( the shark was about 1500lb+) and the a masive great big carp ate the shark and i landed the carp on a bamboo rod with 8lb line and when i banked it, i weighed the carp and it was a massive 3000lb+ so have that with your chips.
