## Caption

A fishing guide in Oklahoma caught a massive bighead carp over the weekend that should replace the state record he set just two years ago.⁠
⁠
The record hasn’t been confirmed yet by state officials, and it’ll be a close call. The 118 pound 10 ounce carp outweighs the guide’s standing record by just seven ounces. The guide, Bryan Baker, shared about his catch on Sunday. A photo of the affidavit form that accompanied Baker’s record submission shows that he snagged the fish Saturday afternoon from Grand Lake — the same waterbody where Baker caught his state-record bighead in 2023. That carp weighed 118 pounds 3 ounces, and it’s still listed as the state-record bighead carp on the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation website.⁠
