Introduction: I believe all experienced fishermen know that it is easy to encounter large crucian carp when fishing in the winter. For example, the editor recently discovered that in the fishing circle, "catty crucian carp" weighing more than half a kilogram or even more than one kilogram has been caught from time to time. However, recently a young fisherman in Changde, Hunan, actually caught a 3.7 kilogram super "wild crucian carp king" in an abandoned lotus root pond, which is shocking!

Abandoned lotus root pond encounters rare "crucian carp king"
According to this young man from Changde, Hunan (@AGANG), the lotus root pond where he fishes has been abandoned for many years. He has caught many large crucian carp here in previous winters, many of which weighed more than half a catty, but he never imagined that there is such a "big crucian carp" in the lotus pond.
The maximum catch of fishermen before was about one pound
"This pond is relatively far away, and no one has fished for medicinal fish in recent years. I know that there are many big crucian carp in it. I have caught crucian carp that is a little more than 1 pound before, but this time I really got excited when I lifted the rod. I didn't expect it to be crucian carp. I really thought it was a carp. It was so powerful! "
The young fishing friend said excitedly that he didn't think much about a slow black float at that time. As soon as he lifted the rod, a huge force came from the fishing line and fishing rod, making him think that the hook was a carp or catfish.
- Therefore, when this "3.7-pound giant crucian carp" came out of the water, this fishing friend was so excited that he suddenly lost his mood for fishing and immediately took out his hand scale to weigh it and take pictures.

A fellow nearby: I saw it for the first time in decades of my life.
Native crucian carp was originally the most common fish in rural ditches and ponds, but such an amazingly large "crucian carp king" was so rare that even fellow villagers passing nearby stopped to watch the fun.
The fishing friend picked it up and showed it to the fellow villagers passing by.
"This crucian carp is amazing. It has become a living spirit. This is the first time I have seen such a big crucian carp in my decades of life. It must have been more than ten years old. It's really rare, and it will definitely be very fresh when used to make soup."
A fellow worker nearby said with envy that he used to come to this lotus pond to stock ground cages , and he also caught a lot of crucian carp black fish , but he didn't expect that there would be such a big crucian carp in this lotus pond.
Editor: This kind of wild crucian carp that weighs more than three kilograms is indeed too rare, and it is the ultimate goal that can only be met by fishermen. The luck of this fisherman from Changde, Hunan has also made many fishermen envious.
However, this Changde fishing friend posted this "King Crucian Carp" on his personal social media, which attracted many people's doubts.

Is this a wild crucian carp?
In the fishing circle, showing off your catch is a very common thing, so this Changde fishing friend immediately took a photo and posted it on social media after catching this rare "King of Crucian Carp", with the text "This is really the best among crucian carps. If I hadn't caught it myself, I wouldn't have believed that a wild crucian carp could be caught." How long does it take to grow so big? "
However, what I didn't expect is that although many netizens praised and admired it, more people expressed doubts, thinking that "(this crucian carp) does not look like a local crucian carp, it is an engineering crucian carp."
It turns out that many people don’t quite believe that the native fish wild crucian carp can grow to such an astonishing size, and they all think that only the artificially cultivated " engineered crucian carp" can grow to such a large size - is this a purely wild "native crucian carp"?
The editor is also very familiar with engineering crucian carp. Many black pits and fish ponds here contain this type of fast-growing artificial crucian carp.
As for the "King Crucian Carp" caught by this angler in Changde, Hunan, judging from its appearance and the color of its scales, the editor believes that it is indeed a native native crucian carp. As for many people who don't believe it, it may be that "King Crucian Carp" of this size is indeed too rare!
Regarding the doubts from netizens, this Changde fishing friend was also "disdainful" and said, "You are sour. This must be a native crucian carp, but it has grown too big and looks a bit like an engineering crucian carp!" - Fishing friends, what do you think? #fishing#
