A MASSIVE goldfish, nearly 14kg in weight, has finally been caught after eluding fishermen for six years.
Raphael Biagini, a 30-year-old fisherman, spent 10 minutes bringing in the enormous orange koi carp, which is approximately the same weight as an average three-year-old girl, from a lake located in southern France.
This fish, deemed too large for any conventional bowl, is believed to be among the biggest of its species ever captured.
According to Mr. Biagini, “Initially, we couldn’t ascertain what was on the line, but we understood it was substantial.”
He added, “The fish put up a good fight, but ultimately not enough to prevail.”
Following an unplanned photoshoot, the fisherman from Montpellier released his impressive catch back into the water.
