An angler discovered a huge invasive species while fishing in a Colorado pond, and video shows just how big the monster-size fish are. Wildlife officials removed more than a dozen 3-foot-long bighead carp from the Jack B Tomlinson Park pond in Arvada, according to a May 13 news release. Arvada is about a 10-mile drive northwest from Denver.

The largest fish weighed in at 46 pounds — about the same weight as several medium-sized dog breeds. The huge size of the fish is apparent in a video shared May 13 by Colorado Parks and Wildlife Northeast Region on X, formerly known as Twitter.
