An inexperienced fisherman in Hunan province recently caught a 1.38-m-long bighead carp weighing 32.5 kg from a 60-m-deep water pit.

Li Hui and his friends were fishing at a pond one evening earlier this month when he heard there was a huge fish in a deep water pit nearby and decided to try catching it.

He set a net in the pit, but it was more than an hour before the fish finally took the bait.

Li spent another 40 minutes landing his weighty catch.
