265lb (120kg) Carp - I kid you not.
The biggest carp ever landed on rod and line, a 265lb or 120kg Giant Siamese Carp, has been caught by Kik,  a guide with Jean-Francois Helias’ Fishing Adventures Thailand.
The 265lb siamese giant carp was taken on 2nd July 2007 by Kik, known locally as “the most complete fisherman in the country”. I can’t argue with that!
Kik’s karp carp is only the second carp to be taken at Bung Sam Lan Lake since 5 of the monsters were introduced in 1984! Kik is also a leading Thai rod maker. he fished the lake along with his American client to see if he could test out a new rod on a Giant Mekong Catfish. I think he well and truly broke his new rod in!
I’m waiting for pictures from Jean-Francois. In the meantime, our good friends at AnglersNet.co.uk have the full story and some pictures for your delectation!
