Andy Hackett, a fisherman from Worcestershire in Great Britain, caught a giant "goldfish" in the Champagne region of France. 

The BBC writes about it. 

This fish weighing 30 kilograms was considered uncatchable, but a British fisherman did catch it.

It is a hybrid of leather carp and koi carp.

It took Andy Hackett 25 minutes to catch the legendary fish.

Local fishermen call it "Carrot" because of its bright orange color.

After the fisherman caught it, the man took a picture with the fish.

He decided not to kill the famous carp and released the fish back into the pond.

Andy Hackett says he wants other anglers to try their hand at catching the famous 'Carrot'.
