Thank you. They are around 3 to 4 kilogram carps and we have carp in the big dams that can weigh up to 30 kilograms.

a fish weighing 30 kg? I can't imagine how big it is!! I've seen a fish weighing 20 kg and the size is quite large.
The actual record weight is 29.8 kilograms and it was set in 2018.
Here is a video of carp fishing in South Africa.
wow, thanks for the video, I saw they didn't catch carp but freshwater monsters LOL
must be very tired and need strong enough energy to be able to catch such that heavy fish, the resistance of the fish when on the fishing line must be very big
My pleasure and yes, those are what we call big carps.
They use special light weight rods and to counter the resistance, one has to slowly play the fish, with the reel clutch on in case the fish breaks into a run. The bait is special maize balls with only one pip on the hook that hangs next to the bait. Carps don't eat, as they suck the bait up with the hook.
A very intricate system.
