A British angler on vacation in Hungary reeled in far more than he bargained for when he snagged a record-breaking carp on his fishing line. Martin Davidson, who now lives in South Africa with his family, proceeded to heave a 112.5-pound (approx. 51-kilogram) carp out of the water.

“I wasn’t fishing for a world record,” Davidson, 54, told The Sun. “But I’m quite lucky.”
