Hi Guys,
I came across this story about a fisherman who caught this monster fish in France.

I saw this article. I don't know, looks like it might be a fake. The french know how to use PhotoShop too.

goldfish and common carp do frequently hybridize.
The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test.
For all we know, this could actually be a pure-blooded carp. The mutation that causes goldfish to be golden can be found in all cyprinids.
