We're going to need a bigger bowl! Fisherman catches massive 30lb 'goldfish'
It might look like an enormously generous fairground prize.
But no goldfish bowl in the world could contain this catch.
The orange koi carp weighs 30lb - the same as an average three-year-old girl - and is thought to be one of the largest of its kind ever captured.
What a whopper! Angler Raphael Biagini got the surprise of his life when he landed this gigantic koi carp on a fishing trip to France. At 30lb it's thought to be the largest of its kind ever caught in the wild
It took Raphael Biagini ten minutes to reel the creature out of a lake in the south of France - moments after fellow anglers told him they had spent six years trying to snare the legendary 'giant goldfish'.
Mr Biagini, pictured, said: 'To begin with, we couldn't tell what was at the end of the line, but we knew it was big.
'The fish was a good fighter, but not enough to win.'
After an impromptu photoshoot, the 30-year-old from Montpellier returned his prize catch to the water.
