A master of sports fishing was seen on camera, trying to catch a 165 pound carp with a line and pole. While he was able to get the fish on the line, he had a massive struggle trying to pull it out. This is understandable, as most carp only weigh a few dozen pounds at most, so to have one that weighs so much is going to be a massive undertaking.

In fact, the fish was so large and powerful that it dragged him into the water six times, almost taking the fisherman with it for a swim. It takes him an entire hour of pulling on the line before he is finally able to reel it in. In fact, he had to go into the water and work to pull it out.

It took three men to climb into the water with him in order to hold the fish down, just so that pictures could be taken of the massive beast. He and the other two guys smile as the pictures are taken, hoping that the fish does not make any sudden movements.

Despite it taking an entire hour to hold onto and reel in the giant fish, after all of the pictures are taken, the fisherman decided to let it go back into the water. This event tired him out so much that he needed help to get out of the lake.

The idea of reeling in a massive fish is the dream of just about anyone who decides to fish in their life. However, many people do not realize how much work that it would take to fight against a fish so big. However, this master fisherman was able to accomplish that dream, and has pictures to show anyone who might doubt the skill and determination that he has for his craft.
