A giant, almost 100-pound grass carp was caught this month in a Louisiana lake, and it would have broken world records if it were hooked in a fishing competition.

Instead, biologists with the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries caught the grass carp — 49.5" long and 92 lbs. — on March 11, during routine spring sampling of Lake Concordia.

It beats the "all-tackle" world record of the International Game Fish Association, set in Bulgaria in 2009, by four pounds, Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries said in a news release. The whopper carp would have also tied the current world record of the Bowfishing Association of America, set in Alabama in 2015.
