Fourteen years ago, Tim Cosens caught a giant carp in Kent, England. At the time, the fish weighed in at 26 pounds. He distinctly remembers a bald spot marking on its side.

A few days ago, Cosens was fishing the same spot. He felt a tug on his line and reeled in a huge fish after a 40 minute fight. When he finally got it in his net, he was surprised to see a familiar bald spot on the side. It was the same carp.

This time, the carp weighed 54 pounds, 12 ounces, making it one of the largest of its kind caught in England. Cosens returned the fish to the water, perhaps for a third reunion in another decade.

If that is a 28 lb carp the man must weigh around 18 lbs.

You misread it, Dangle. The carp now weighs 54 lbs.

That is one big goldfish! Just to see something like that lounging around the shallows would be kinda scary. If it swam by and you were it's way, might get a broken leg.
