In 20 17, Nigel Ludbrook, a 49-year-old bricklayer, successfully caught a giant carp weighing 68 pounds and 8 ounces (about 3 1 kg) with a bait made of white chocolate and fish.
Extended data:
It is understood that Nigel and his friends planned this two-day fishing trip to celebrate that both of them will turn 50 this year. To their surprise, they caught such a big carp. They nicknamed this carp "Captain Jack", and "Captain Jack" is 7 ounces heavier than the current heaviest carp "Parrot" in Britain. After weighing and photographing Captain Jack, Nigel released him.
It is reported that as a bricklayer, Nigel usually hauls heavy items, but when he catches this giant carp, he still feels powerless. He said that when he just pulled it out of the water, the whole person was shocked, because the biggest carp he had caught before weighed 35 pounds (about 16 kg), and he had never seen such a big carp.
