Kidderminster man catches giant goldfish

May 26,2022 10:10 am

Now here's something you don't see at The Fair - A Man using Two Hands to lift a goldfish nearly as big as he is.

Worcestershire angler Andy Hackett landed The orange beast while on A Trip to France, in a region worthy of toasting such Success - Champagne .

The Giant , known as The Carrot, was introduced to Bluewater Lakes there 20 years ago, proving elusive since.

But then came along Mr Hackett and rod; using, you might say, a Carrot and stick approach.

The fish, he explained, was a hybrid of a leather carp and a koi carp and after a 25-minute battle, it was all over. The goldfish that had been a White Whale to many was in Mr Hackett's net.

" You're gonna need a bigger bowl, " was everyone's first thought, quickly followed by whether there were scales large enough to weigh scaly Carrot.

But a weigh-in was achieved, with this beauty's vital statistic being a whopping 30kg (67 pounds).

And yet there was no need for A Mountain of potatoes for Chips - The Carrot was released back from whence he came to leave another angler with a chance of a fishy tale.

The goldfish commonly kept as pets do not achieve More Than a few inches in length, but they are part of The carp family which can reach impressive proportions, with colourful koi sometimes fetching small fortunes from hobbyists.

Mr Hackett's run-in with The special breed came during a visit to a fishery on one of his many French trips, and He Said while The Carrot was often seen due to his striking hue, he was harder to land.

" With normal fish, " Mr Hackett explained, " you struggle to see them if they're just under The Surface , but The Carrot is obviously bright orange so you can't miss it.

" [But] it's a much sought-after fish, not many people have caught it, it's quite illusive. "

Anglers, however, always have a chance.

" Just like a general Big Fish , they're heavy, they're slow, they plod around, " Mr Hackett said.

Yet anyone fancying a crack themselves may face disappointment - The fishery has a waiting list of at least five years.
