100-kilo carp caught in Tonle Sap

A 100-kilogram Siamese giant carp that had been caught in a fisherman’s gill net was freed and released into the Tonle Sap lake by Fisheries Administration officials on Tuesday.
Yon Kunthea, a 36-year-old fisherman from Pursat province’s Krakor district, had sailed across the lake to set his fishing net in a more shallow area where smaller fish are typically found.
“I was collecting the fishing net to retrieve the small fish, but I saw a huge tear in the fishing net,” he said. “When I lifted it, I saw a huge Siamese giant carp trapped in it. At that time, I was overwhelmed because it was huge, and I have never experienced that before,” he said, adding that he promptly called the authorities to inspect and free the huge carp.

An amazing coincidence, or did they buy it from the Cambodian Fisheries Dept ?
Brit catches massive, record-shattering 100 kilo Siamese Carp in Ratchaburi
By Coconuts Bangkok September 30, 2016 / 16:22 ICT
An English fisherman caught what’s being called the biggest carp in the world, tipping the scales at a massive 100 kilograms (222 pounds). He caught the oversized swimmer at a pond in Ban Pong, Ratchaburi.
Fisherman Tim Webb, 57, was so proud to have caught the giant Siamese Carp after a 90-minute battle with it, that he bought the fish from the fishery where he was fishing.
His catch broke the previous world record for a Siamese Carp by a lot. The last “world’s largest carp” was a petite 32 kilograms (70 pounds) lighter...
Though he wouldn’t say how much he paid, it is thought to have cost him as much as THB200,000.
