Andy Hackett, a long-time angler, celebrates his success after catching one of the gigantic goldfish in the world. It is not a typical fish we usually see on the National Geographic channel because its enormous size is out of this planet.
Biggest Goldfish in Bluewater Lakes
The Bluewater Lakes is a popular fishing spot in France where anglers search for the rarest finds regarding aquatic life.
For instance, Hackett has proved that there's a monster in the lake. According to USA Today, the angler captured a very old female carp which is believed to be 20 years old.
The report says that the fish, which also goes by its nickname "Carrot," weighs 67.4 pounds or 30.5 kgs before being released back to the lake the next day.
For guests who want to participate in the carp fishery they can head to France, particularly in the Champagne region where Bluewater Lakes is located.
The visitors have the option to book in advance so they can have early slots for fishing.
In an interview with FTW Outdoors, Bluewater Lakes spokesman Jason Cowler said that the female carp might not be the biggest "resident" in the lake but is the most outstanding by far.
Cowler added that several anglers caught Carrot "around nine times" last season. She exceeded the 60-pound mark after being captured on Feb. 22 when she weighed 61.5 pounds or 27.9 kg.

Hackett and Carrot
The moniker Carrot is strikingly identifiable given that the carp has an orange color which resembles the famous vegetable. According to 9GAG, the fish is a mixed breed of koi carp and leather carp.
"I always knew The Carrot was in there but never thought I would catch it. I knew it was a big fish when it took my bait and went off side to side and up and down with it. Then it came to the surface 30 or 40 yards out and I saw that it was orange. It was brilliant to catch it but it was also sheer luck," Hackett said.
Bluewater Lakes assures that Carrot is still in great health and condition after the catch. Soon enough, there's another angler who will catch this goldfish, but nobody knows when.
In other news, experts might have potentially searched for some remnants believed to have come from the medieval Thames river. According to a team of archaeologists, the structure was made with limestone, which was the same component used in the construction of Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.
More importantly, the experts discovered that the archaeological wall has existed for the last 700 years. At the time, the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) was evaluating the collected remains.
