Huge goldfish caught last week at Lake Valencia

wow
 
looks dead
 
I agree, crimson. It looks very dead to me.... they probably told people they released it back, unsure whether they'd get in trouble or not.
 
The largest Goldie in the UK is 38cm. I think Guiness records has one at 47cm from the Netherlands. Now someone finds a Goldie which is 61-71cm, but oops, didn't keep him.... :( I suppose that's the fish (returned alive to the lake), hanging peacefully with a finger stuck up it's throat. Sorry, looks a Photo-shop to me.
