My stepfather is an avid angler. He spends his summers in their cottage just south of Budapest, on the bank of a branch of the Danube river. He loves to fish.<\/p>\n

Late May, he caught what was one of the biggest fish in his life: a 21.8 kg grass carp.<\/p>\n

To be sure, this is not the biggest fish ever caught, even at this particular location. The biggest grass carp that was caught there in recent memory weighed 35 kg; and the biggest anything was a 70 kg wels catfish.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, a 21.8 kg (48 lbs) fish is a respectable catch, which earned my stepfather a place in the local angler society’s record books<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
