Tennessee angler Victor Siwik was about to call it a day and head to shore when he told himself, “one more cast.” His final fish turned out to be unlike anything he had ever seen before, he told Field & Stream about his May 29 catch. “I saw that white tail come out of the water and I was like ‘daggum, I cannot lose this fish,’” he told Field & Stream.

Siwik reeled out a 41-pound, ghost-white carp from near Reelfoot Lake. He shared the fish in a local outdoors group on Facebook and called the fish a catch of a lifetime. “Caught and landed this bad boy on rod/reel alone and had to put my arm in its mouth and out its gills to keep it from getting off. It’s been an amazing weekend that I’m super thankful for,” Siwik said.
