The Bluewater Lakes team has also emphasized on its official Facebook page that “utmost care is taken when all our carp are caught,” adding that fish are treated for any injuries and never removed fully from the water. All photos are taken on a floating mat in case the catches decide to flip, they said.

The fishery said that Carrot is “in excellent health and condition” and about 20 years old. It predicted that Carrot could live (and grow) for another 15 years. “Long may her stardom continue,” it added.
