That is one hell of a Carp...
But I bet it was caught in a net... (despite saying it was hooked on a line)
The Thai people (fishermen) use nets that span entire rivers to catch 'Catfish'.
Thailand has the largest species of catfish in the world, specialy in the Mekon region...
These buggers can be over 200lbs.
(I have seen them catch huge fish)
The peeps there cast out these nets, drag the other end over to the far bank & let it sit all day or untill they know they have a huge catfish...
The nets are made in such a way that smaller fish just swim through, this carp above could never pass through such a net.
A lil FYI:
A 150lb - 200lb Catfish can be sold in a Thai market for approx $2,000 USD
That's more than enough to keep the fishermen going / living, who work together to catch it, for a good few weeks to a month.

Just seen the picture of the 7 legged lamb. I reacted exactly as I would to a massive spider. I never thought my fear of massive spiders was just to do with their leggs, but maybe it is. Then again, the lambs pelt is easily mistakable with that of a hairy spider, so maybe my brain was just seeing what it most expected. And I usually love lambs. I wonder if this one was born near anywhere nuclear.

That really makes me sad. I cannot imagine and elephant trying to kick heroin.faceless wrote:
Heroin-addict 'Big Brother' elephant to rejoin herd after rehab
30th August 2007
A bull elephant that became a drug addict after being fed heroin-laced bananas has kicked the habit following a year in "rehab". The elephant - nicknamed Big Brother by vets - had been rounded up by illegal traders in the jungle near China's Burma border, along with younger members of the herd he headed.
Wanting to sell the herd, the gang began feeding Big Brother bananas laced with heroin so that it would be easier to control him. Big Brother obediently followed the traders - and in doing so led the rest of the herd - knowing it would receive another "hit" if it tagged along.
When officials took him into care he was heavily addicted and went through "cold turkey" so bad vets said "even his iron chain could not contain it". To combat his withdrawal symptoms they began injecting him with methadone, but with triple the dose given to a human addict.
Yesterday the Tropical Wildlife Park in Hainan province said he was 'clean' and ready to go back to the wild. One vet said: "The treatment required great courage by a number of us as we could never be sure how he was going to behave as he came down off his habit."
