Default Holy Carp! 16 lb. Koi caught in St. Albert pond.

Just saw on the news that an 11-year-old boy caught a 30 inch 16-pound koi out of Lacombe Lake in St. Albert on Wednesday morning. Go figure he caught it using a very elaborate fishing rig.... a hook and a piece of wiener. A koi that big is probably older than the boy.

*Note to self: Maybe try fishing some urban ponds for fun.
