Angler smashes global record with first carp over 100lbs - and it's not French!
At 101lb 4oz, this is the new world record carp.
Caught on June 2, the huge triple figure monster was banked from Hungarian fishery, Euro-Aqua, on the shores of Lake Balaton on the west of the country.
The lucky angler who added his name to the history books is Austrian carp angler Roman Hanke, after his fish fell for a birdseed boilie in the early hours of the morning.
Weighed and witnessed by a number of individuals, the huge mirror measured 113cm in length.
