I see this today and the post reads..
British angler Graham Slaughter has scaled new heights by catching the world's biggest carp that weighed a whopping 88.6lbs - almost as much as Kylie Minogue. hahahahahha
It is the first ever captured carp to weigh more than 40 kilos - and was the angling equivalent of the four minute mile.

British angler Graham Slaughter with his record-breaking catch.
Graham, 42, lured the mutant mirror carp to his hook with a mix bait of tuna, shrimp paste, yeast and tiger nuts, a hard pulse from a plant.
It took him 20 minutes to reel it in and then several of his friends had to help heave the beast from the water and onto the scales, sparking wild celebrations on the bank.
Graham was handed two bottles of Champaign by the owner of the lake in France before being hurled into the water by his jubilant pals. The catch is 1lbs 4ozs more than the previous world record held by fellow Brit Gary Hagues last year.
The giant fish has now been named Kylie after the popular Australian singer - who's stated weight is 95lbs, only six pounds heavier than Graham's prized catch.
