Biggest bighead: 92-pound carp with a bow & arrow

What is believed to be the largest bighead carp taken by a recreational fisherman was bagged by Illinois bowfisher Darin Opel in the Mississippi River backwaters near Alton on Sunday. "It was real heavy, like lifting a refrigerator," said Opel, who ripped his jeans on the arrow sticking from the back of the carp's head during the ruckus. "Once he got out of the water, he started fighting hard. He beat me up pretty good. He definitely got a few licks in." Belleville News-Democrat outdoors writer Rod Kloeckner has the story.
