Angler catches record-breaking 132-lb. carp on his birthday :fishing:
Keith Williams (shown above on the left) of Surrey, England, had the birthday every angler dreams of. On a trip to a fishing resort in Krabi, Thailand, the 56-year-old pulled in a Siamese carp weighing 132 pounds, a new world record if it's ratified by the International Game Fish Association. While he told his wife that he could “feel in his bones” that he was going to catch a special fish that day, Williams is reportedly still in somewhat of a daze, not quite believing he landed the world’s largest catch (the monstrous haul took 25 minutes to reel in). Believe it, Mr. Williams — and believe you’ll be eating carp, carp and more carp for the indefinite future.
