The pair has been farming fish since the 1990s and they pulled the giant creature from a two-hector (5 acre) pond, situated on their property. “We caught this 40 kg (88 lb) one on Thursday and on Saturday we caught a 22 kg (48.5 lb) one. There’s more in the water. Many people fish here,” said Jair to G1. According to the aqua culturist, local residents are attracted by the distinctive flavor of Chinese carp.
