Giant goldfish caught outside Detroit

DETROIT (CNN/WDIV) - A Michigan man might need a bigger bowl for what he reeled in last week.

It's a goldfish, but not like one you've probably ever seen.

"I've been fishing this lake for 20 years, first one I've ever caught. I called my dad the second it came out of the hole. I didn't know what to do with it...asked him what I should do with it. I've never caught a goldfish. What do you do with a goldfish?" said Mike Martin.

His father told him to put it in a bucket and take it home.

Martin says he plans to mount it on the wall.

Anyone ask him what he was using for a jig and bait?

There is a small city park lake where I live that harbors some pretty sweet...really big... abandoned koi, and every year waste a few hours trying to nab one. Wouldnt keep it, but certainly would be a prize catch!

There are some big ones in that little lake, I think the "locals" have tried to get a few out of there over the years

I've seen a lot when bowfishing the Saginaw bay, I always miss them but have seen a few ones bigger then that one, arrowed in the bay!
