After three months of attempts at catching a koi fish from his neighborhood pond, a Houston-area middle schooler hooked the catch of a lifetime. Valentino Pickett, a sixth grade student from Polly Ryon Middle School, recently reeled in a 15-pound golden koi fish out of a neighborhood pond in Greatwood Charleston Estates, a neighborhood located within the Sugar Land area, according to a report from the Fort Bend Herald.
 

Valentino, who loves to fish and play basketball, had reportedly been trying for three months to catch one of the koi before he finally landed the monster-sized carp, according to the Fort Bend Herald. "He was so excited that [he] asked a complete stranger to please take a picture of him," wrote the newspaper. In the photo, Valentino is seen hoisting up the giant, orange-colored carp using his left arm. The fish was reportedly released shortly after the photo was taken.
