A new record for the biggest silver carp caught in Oklahoma is set, by a man who already has several records in Texas. However, his main goal isn’t to tip the scales, but to fight back against invasive species that harm native Oklahoma fish.

Banaszak has several passions including bow fishing for his Youtube channel after years of mixed martial arts fighting. His latest challenge has been taking out invasive fish from Oklahoma and Texas waters, like the silver and bighead carp.
