A British angler is celebrating today after catching the world's biggest carp fish that weighed a staggering 232lbs.
John Harvey, 42, landed the enormous Siamese carp after a knee-trembling 80 minute battle to reel it in at a lake in Thailand.
British-born John from Westleigh, near Bideford, Devon, couldn't believe his eyes when the monster broke the surface of the water.
It tipped the scales at 16 and a half stone (105kg). |

The colossal carp had to be weighed using scales on a robust stainless steel tripod.
And John needed help from two other anglers, Dan Hastings and Lagoon guide, Nanwam, to lift the huge specimen to pose for a picture with it at the Palm Tree Lagoon at Chedi Hak in southern Thailand.
His catch beat the previous world record set for a Siamese carp by 10lbs. |
