Williams was in Thailand celebrating his birthday on a fishing trip with family and friends when hooked this monster size carp; he fought the big fish for more than 25 minutes before laneded it.
The International Game Fish Association (IGFA - www.igfa.org) needs to review and approve a record application from Williams before it can officially deem his catch a world record.
Until then, Terry Mather’s 114 lb, 10 oz. Siamese carp caught in Thailand in March 2004 will continue to hold the world record title.
