Benson, the world’s largest carp is sleeping with the fishes. Benson lived for 25 years and was a resident of Bluebell Lakes, a private fishing complex in Tansor, England. The Bluebell Lakes is a catch and release fishing complex and anglers from across Europe came to fish for Benson.

On the flip side, Benson was caught and put back in the lake 63 times, hitting a high weight of 64 pounds two years ago. Imagine the torture that the fish went through every time it was caught, pulled out and made into a photo opp. At the time of death, Benson was 52 pounds on July 28, 2009.
