(doesn't look huge in the picture but I'm sure these guys know thier fish)

"Fishing on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River below Chester on Feb. 8, Isaak's crew pulled in an Asian carp with estimated weight of nearly 90 pounds. The behemoth exceeded the weight limit on their hand-held scale, which topped out at 80 pounds.
Isaak, a veteran commercial fisherman from Carlyle who's been plying this trade for 25 years, estimated the weight between 85 and 90 pounds."

That's a whole lot of catfood for $9.
