Carp game strong! Mitsuru Ichikawa submitted two grass carp catches as potential IGFA World Records in the Men’s 10 & 15-kg (20 & 30 lb) Line Classes. The first weighed 26.20-kilograms (57- pounds, 13-ounces) and was caught on bread, yes: 🍞.
The second weighed 20-kilograms (44-pounds, 2-ounces) and was caught using reed.
Mitsuru, who we will now refer to only as The Carp Master, caught these two in Saitama, Japan. @JGA

Trout Unlimited filed a lawsuit yesterday against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its recent decision to withdraw protections for the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. Called the Bristol Bay Proposed Determination, the protections would have limited the scope and scale of impacts from the proposed Pebble Mine to the world-class salmon, trout and water resources of the region.
“Billions of dollars have been spent in an attempt to restore salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, Bristol Bay sets records for its salmon returns year after year. All we need to do is have the humility and common-sense to leave this landscape alone,” said Chris Wood, president, and CEO of Trout Unlimited. “Sacrificing a place such as Bristol Bay for some gold is a short-sighted fool’s errand. We are not a litigious organization, but we and millions of other sportsmen and women will not allow greed to compromise the most important salmon fishery on the planet.”
