Worlds biggest carp
A 265 LBS SIAMESE GIANT CARP CAUGHT BY FISHING ADVENTURES THAILAND PRO GUIDE KIK!
This time with the catch by Fishing Adventures Thailand pro guide “Kik” of the world’s biggest carp ever caught on rod and line in the history of sport fishing. Kik who has been guiding in Jean-Francois’ team since its inception is known locally as the most complete local angler of the country. He is also Thailand’s top rod builder and top hand maker of top water lures. Though he does not fish much as he used to do in his younger days, preferring guiding visiting anglers nowadays and making them catching our Thai fish species, he still has it under his skin.
the biggest carp ever
On July 2, 2007, while guiding an American client at Bung Sam Lan Lake, Kik had brought with him a brand new fishing rod he had just finished to custom build. His intention was only to hook up and to play one or two Mekong giant catfish so he could test his rod. His karma on that day was gonna turn in a way he would have never expected.
Instead of a hard fighting Mekong catfish, Kik hooked up instead the kind of catch of a lifetime some anglers would sell their soul to the devil for. A Siamese Giant Carp or Catlocarpio siamensis we estimated weighing just over 120 kg (265 pounds). She may be a tiny bit bigger but 120 kilos is already very fine with us. On the opposite of lots of anglers we have always prefered estimating the weight of our fish catches at the minimum rather than exagerating or hyping it.
Even with a bunch of kilos missing from her real weight, Kik’s catch is anyway the biggest Siamese carp ever caught here in Thailand on rod and line, and on top of it, the world’s biggest carp ever caught on rod and line!
Isnt’ that catch twice bigger the size of the current IGFA All Tackle world record for that species? Yes it is!
Has the fish been caught according to the IGFA rules? Yes!
Does it qualify then for a new record? No!
The only scales we had that day at the lake were our usual certified 100 kg scales. No way we would have thought we were gonna catch that gigantic carp. Kik’s humungous carp catch is the moment carp consistently taken at Bung Sam Lan Lake from what i read in the 5 “super biggies” stocked at the lake 23 ages ago. These 5 carp showing according to the wild, precisely from what i read in the Chaopraya River in the Ratchburi province at which properties got netted, got currently all weighing above the 90 kilos (almost 200 pounds) mark when purchased to the lake owners.
In within two decades, one and only one of them has of all time been heard landed by an angler. It is the predicted 110 kilos Siamese giant carp caught by our local friend Lung Dam. Any dedicated European carp angler knows nearly overly renowned photo springing Lung Dam in a straw hat posing behind his capture. A picture that has kept on published in close to most every European fishing magazine.
