Bluewater Lakes in France: Angler catches 30 kilos of koi carp

It looks like a giant goldfish, but it's a cross between koi and carp: a Briton caught a 30-kilo fish in France. The event also ended well for the animal.


A dream must have come true for Andy Hackett.

The angler from Britain has caught a huge orange fish - a mix of koi and carp - in France.

The animal weighed around 30 kilos.

Because of its orange color, the fish is also called carrot.

"I never thought I would catch the carrot," said the 42-year-old, according to The Guardian.

It was great, but also pure luck.

Hackett had his picture taken with the carrot.

In the photos you can see how big the fish is compared to the angler and how difficult it seems to him to hold the carrot.

After the photos, Hackett let the fish slide back into the water.

The angler caught it in the Bluewater Lakes in Champagne in north-eastern France.

Fishing area manager Jason Cowler told The Guardian: "We introduced the carrot about 20 years ago to give our customers something new.

It's grown and grown since then, but very difficult to catch."
