Man catches giant carp weighing nearly 20kg

According to Dailystar, Duncan Jefferys, 50, had almost given up hope after 7 days of fishing on Lake Le Botte, France. However, on the last night, he spotted a fish-shaped cloud in the sky and the next morning, a pull of the rod sent his adrenaline soaring.

The carp weighs nearly 20kg.

The father-of-four from Rhyl, North Wales, said: "The lake is full of fish but catching them is a real challenge.

I put out quite a bit of bait, but by the end of the vacation I still hadn't caught a fish, even though I had my rod in the water all week.

The last night, a guy and I were fishing together and we spotted a cloud in the sky. I took a picture of it and then I noticed that the reflection in the lake looked exactly like a carp, which gave me a little hope. I thought, maybe this is the carp god showing me a sign."

Duncan added: "At around 7am the next morning my fishing rod broke, I decided to jump in the water and after 20 minutes I caught a common carp weighing nearly 20kg on the last day of my holiday.

The colour of the carp was exactly like the clouds in the sky, it was really amazing. It weighed almost 20kg, what a remarkable achievement - it was even bigger than my dog."

It is understood that this is not the first time Duncan has caught a giant carp. His record catch is a 20kg carp, while his son Kyle caught a 21kg carp.

“It’s a great relaxing hobby. There aren’t many places in the UK that have fish over 18kg, which is why we go to France.

This time, we had to fight the heat, which was up to 35 degrees, and I was bitten by mosquitoes. But the excitement of catching carp was amazing, there is no better feeling than that," Duncan revealed.
