There are many different species of fish in man-made Candlewood Lake, and I’ve certainly see my share of bluegills, trout, and sunnies; the lake is also home to a few varieties of bass, catfish, and perch as well as bullhead and pickerel.

What I’ve never seen or heard of in four decades of living here is this giant carp; there were several that day, but I was only able to get some video of this one. Check it out.
