WTF is with that colour...looks plastic but good to see he did a catch and release when you consider how long they can live and the weight they can reach...

To save you converting it...67lb 14oz equals 30.45kg's...lived longer than some people...RIP Two Tone

before I read JAS's post, I was going to say: "That looks fake!"

I wish I could catch one of those stinking mongrel fish that size in the Murray. Would come in very handy this year for yabby bait. Dirty stinking no good useless piece of shit fish they are.

I've seen them swimming around in foot deep water features in Singapore shopping centres.

What makes me think it's a bit suss, apart from the colour, is the size compared to the claimed weight...it just looks far to big to be 14kg.

This was Austin Holness holding Two Tone which would be 2008 and put it at over 30kg...

I have caught 30" carp and left them die on the bank.

People come up and ask, can I have them.

Yes, take the lot.

Used to have a mate that could cook a carp as good as it gets.

Sadly, he has passed.

Hit em on the head Dog_ger. They may be rubbish but they take an age to die.It's not their fault they are what they are.

Despatching them quickly is far better than watching them suffer a lingering death suffocating on the bank ...if you can't put them back and kill them then don't catch them.

You have to do it.
I'm no bleeding heart greeny (I shoot and I fish) but the fish shouldn't have to suffer more than it needs to. Sorry,but if you can't kill the thing mercifully, stop fishing.
