Once there was a fish carp.And she was so tasty that people have decided to adapt it for domestic breeding.So the method of artificial selection has created a new breed of fish, which received the Greek name of the carp, which means the fruit.Later carp bred, on the feet of birds eggs they move from one freshwater reservoir to another, until the fish is not settled virtually throughout Eurasia, capturing even part of North Africa.Fish is quite large, often reaches the masses of several tens of kilograms.What was the biggest carp in ancient times, we do not know.Our ancestors had no time to weigh the fish caught, they simply ate.Obviously, nothing amazes imagination was not caught, otherwise unusual carp would necessarily recorded in the annals.
It is clear that the biggest carp has to be driven somewhere in the south: there is growing faster, plenty of food, and to fall into hibernation is not necessary.Only eat but to grow to your health!So it turned out really.
In Europe, the biggest carp was caught in the south of France.Two locals went for the weekend to go fishing, and that fished: the mass of the giant was forty-three kilograms, the second was a bit less - thirty-eight kilos!But this is not the limit.According to eyewitnesses, in the last century in the south of the European part of the Russian Empire, they had to catch carp much larger sizes.The largest carp caught in the vicinity of Taganrog, weighed four pounds and ten pounds.It's almost seventy kilos!
interesting that modern European ladies in fishing almost no lag behind men.The biggest carp, which caught the Dutch Lisette Beunders at the end of last year, weighed as much as thirty-eight kilograms.This was a mirror carp and was driven also in France.
now transferred from the European continent to Asia.In July 2007, a Thai fisherman named Kick fished from the local pond carp weighing twenty-Stone.Translated into the metric system it will be twenty-seven kilograms of one hundred and!Yes, this is probably the first truly big carp in the world.To date.
carp was caught this on a homemade bait, and to pose for the camera with catch, I had to bring one more person as yourself to keep a heavy fish Kik could not.
According to genetics, to trace the pedigree of carp, his birthplace is located in Southeast Asia.Once it has spread across the continent, it was withdrawn a few species, is quite different from the original.For example, the mirror carp, which is almost devoid of scales.Or Japanese ornamental carp, deducing which began in the middle of the first millennium BC.It is colorful and has a lot of rocks.
But "modification" does not reach the size of a giant of Southeast Asia.And there carp of this size is likely to occur infrequently.Thai fisherman seems he was surprised when he learned that he caught a fish - the biggest carp.Photo and video, which recorded the joy of fishing, clearly show that he is stunned and amazed the audience at least.Perhaps in the future it will be able to pull out of Thai waters and more giant.At the very least, all this has a Southern climate, an abundance of food for the fish.So the usual homemade bait can be caught an unusual fish!
