The 56-year-old angler from Carshalton in Surrey, England got the biggest surprise on his birthday when he caught the fish.

If confirmed by the International Game Fish Association, William’s 132-pound carp will be the world’s largest catch.

Resort owner Stuart Gillham narrated how Williams caught the giant carp.

Keith came out to stay with us with a group of friends to celebrate his 56th birthday. He told his wife that he could feel in his bones that he was going to catch a special fish that day.

His reaction was one of total shock – he said never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would catch a world record.

In the days after this capture Keith was walking around in a daze – he is still saying it has not yet sunk in.”
