and you thought fish
were fun!
photograph Angling Times, well this is fun if you like fishing, and it could have been a new British record, for a bullhead, in my day we used to call them Millers' Thumb, the
current record for a bullhead is a mere 1 oz, according to the British
Record Fish Committee, the lucky angler was Jay Cleeve, Jay was fishing for the evening, as he often does, on a
small stream close to his home in Lincolnshire when he caught the fish
of a lifetime, the stream where he was fishing is only 5 or 6 feet wide, "My only regret was not having digital scales small
enough to register his weight, but needless to say, I'll be going back with
some, hoping I'm lucky enough to catch such a fantastic little fish
again," he said, going from one extreme to the other, how about this monster,

giant, 104.5-pound common carp he caught from a private pay lake in Hungary, to another fish that could be a record breaker, Kacper Stępień could be a new world-record-holder for common
carp after landing a massive fish from Euro Aqua, a private lake in Hungary and
a renowned carp fishery. Stępień was fishing there on Sept. 16 when he caught
the 104.5-pound common carp, which would easily break the current IGFA
all-tackle world record should it be accepted by the organization, the
potential world-record catch was highlighted in a recent post on Euro-Aqua’s Facebook page and on Stępień’s personal page, on
paper, his carp easily surpasses the current IGFA all-tackle world record for
common carp. That fish weighed 75 pounds 11 ounces, and it was caught in France
in 1987 by Leo van der Gugten, in order for Stępień’s record to be accepted by
the IGFA, however, he’ll have to submit it for record consideration — a lengthy
process that requires a significant amount of paperwork. IGFA judges would then
scrutinize every aspect of the catch, from the tackle and scale used to the
witnesses who were there that day, for the full story have a look here.
