I know that a IGFA recognized world record goldfish was caught out of Lake Hodges here in San Diego. I'll post more information as I find it

firecontrol Hobbyist Posts: 65 Kudos: 59 Votes: 41 Registered: 02-Sep-2005	Do I really have to defend myself here. That is not a Koi. It is not a tench. This is a photo of a Tench. firecontrol attached this image: Last edited by firecontrol at 12-Sep-2005 22:13[/font] Last edited by firecontrol at 12-Sep-2005 22:13

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	The shape of the fish looks nothing like a goldfish. I've seen many very large goldfish, and that is definitely not one. I won't believe it is until there is genetic proof.
