The fish appears to be as large as the one above. Looks like the Bighead Carp Record
will not last long if these 2 fish are any indication.

[size 2]In my opinion, BRAVO for him for being heads up enough to keep a world record fish! With all the controversy right now about the new world record bass, it is nice to see someone remove all doubt![/size]

yeah i know about that i have caught several different species of fish that would have been a record but didnt think to get all the info and find someone around here with the right scales to weigh them,now that i think about i still dont know anyone aroud here with the proper weighing scales.see i target big gar and bowfin when the river is out of its banks have caught several 6 and a half ft long and seen bigger helped a guy last year pull in a 85 pound shad of some type not sure.it was so full it didnt even fight just dead weight broke my landing net.i have to get a digital camera my 4 year old soaked my last one in pepsi .but i have to wait till i can afford it. and find a scale that will weigh record fish caught around here.
