The topic of disagreement is all about those European fatties that claim world records.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a PAYING CAG member just like any other paying member in this club. Please don't pull that "BOD so you think this or that" on me.
I'm a CAG member FIRST (Webmaster 2nd and BOD member last) and that give me just as much right as YOU to speak my mind about ANYTHING club related.
So if you don't LIKE what I've got to say, don't use the age old lame "You think you can say what you want because you're on the BOD".
I say what I want because I'm "ME", I say what I want because it's my right as an AMERICAN CITIZEN to speak my mind FREELY.
If I don't agree with you, get over it and move on. My main function is to maintain everything CAG WEB Related, NOT to kiss your butt and agree with you, nor to say stuff just so I don't hurt your feelings.
So please keep in mind that if you choose to ask for an opinion or say something I don't agree with, I will speak my mind as a PAYING CAG MEMBER.

Agree with you Hawk, but thats Carp fishing in Europe! We are fortunate to enjoy wild carp that fight like hell! I recall cathing a 41.8lb carp in a lake in Hungary that fought like a 15lb Carp caught in Canada! Our fish here are powerful slabs of gold that put the anglers gear and knowledge to the test!

I was very curious to know which lake the fish was caught from and after a few inter searches I got some Answers. Lake Balaton where the fish was caught is the largest lake in Europe and it is a natural lake adding value to the carp caught. Here is the actual article from the magazine that published the report:
Angler smashes global record with first carp over 100lbs - and it's not French!
At 101lb 4oz, this is the new world record carp.
Caught on June 2, the huge triple figure monster was banked from Hungarian fishery, Euro-Aqua, on the shores of Lake Balaton on the west of the country.
The lucky angler who added his name to the history books is Austrian carp angler Roman Hanke, after his fish fell for a birdseed boilie in the early hours of the morning.
Weighed and witnessed by a number of individuals, the huge mirror measured 113cm in length, with bosses of the venue predicting that this fish could well go over 50kg, 110lb, in the future.
Although some had predicted that Hungary could well see a fish break the current world carp record, the move away from a French fish at the top of the big fish tree has come as a shock to many. The previous four world carp records have come from the country, including the huge Scar fish from Les Graviers at 99lb and a 94lb specimen from the famous Rainbow Lake.

Actually Arvand i'm pretty sure it originated in Balaton but was stocked into the Aqua Lake which is a commercial fishery. It's an immense, immense fish though. Looks more like a hippo than a carp. Well done to the captor.

This gross looking fish was netted from lake Balaton, and stocked in a pond...force feeding resulted in this monstrous 'carp'.
A shame to call it a sportsfish, shame on the guy who claims a 'world record'.
This type of carp was 'engineered' to grow the ideal consumption carp,...without head and tail fits right on a plate.
It was never intended to grow over 10lb.
Budugly!

I have to disagree the weight of the fish is what determines a world record the previous world record was from the similar conditions so why would he not claim the record. Its an accomplishment.
PB Common 21lbs 5oz
PB Grass 45lbs 15oz
Koi. 13lb. 4oz

Bull####
was banked from Hungarian fishery, Euro-Aqua
Take a look here and see why Hungarian carp grow big, they are the leading carp growers for consumption carp.

Regardless of the strain of fish and its origins, i'm sure anyone who catches a fish that big would brag about it. All the current world records caught are from similar lakes in Europe, what makes them any better! Maybe we should come up with a new world record system. Fish from lakes fed twinkies and cup cakes & Wild caught Carp! We all know the challenge and the patience to land a fish that big in Canada is a dream come ture but the article posted is not to say who's better or who knows more! Its all about sharing info from the Carp world scene.
