We’re excited to announce a record-breaking capture at Aqua-Paradiso! After being last seen over two years ago, Peanut, the largest mirror carp ever recorded at our lake, made a triumphant return, weighing in at a remarkable 40 pounds.
Syndicate member Miguel Caldeira, after a series of unproductive winter sessions, decided to give it one last try before the carp began spawning. Despite noticing some spawning activity that initially dampened his spirits, Miguel stuck to his game plan and baited a spot he trusted.
On his final morning, his patience was rewarded when his alarm finally went off. After a brief and uneventful fight, nothing could have prepared him for what he saw in his net – a 40-pounder!
Miguel gives a big thank you to the Aqua management team, both past and present, for their exceptional care of our fish. Their dedication has made this incredible catch possible and helped Miguel achieve a long-held dream.
Here’s to more record-breaking moments and tight lines at Aqua-Paradiso!
