One angling guide from Thailand has managed to catch what is believed to be the largest carp ever caught in the history of sport fishing.
Fishing Adventures Thailand professional guide Kik's carp was found to weigh some 265 pounds (120 kg) after he caught it on the Bung Sam Lan Lake on July 2nd.
The guide had only gone out to the waterway to test a new custom-built fishing rod he had been developing and ended up catching the largest Siamese giant carp ever recorded.
Kik, who has been a guide at Jean-Francois Helias' team since its inception, is not just an expert angler, being renowned for his status as one of Thailand's pre-eminent rod builders and water lure hand-makers.
Paul Sharman, of Fish & Fly, says: "I think this story will be of huge interest to the freshwater fishing world and is a credit to Jean-Francois Helias and his amazing team of guides in Thailand."
The Fishing Adventures Team is renowned for holding a host of achievements, including 129 IGFA world records.
They also hold the record for the biggest fish ever caught on rod or line, a 185kg Arapaima gigas in the summer
