Origin
Officials conducting a routine fish population survey in December 2020 wound up with quite the unexpected catch when they discovered a 9-pound “goldfish” in a South Carolina lake.
A photo of the giant goldfish was shared to Facebook and Instagram on Dec. 7, 2020, by Greenville Rec, which oversees the park.
“Anyone missing their goldfish?” joked Greenville Rec on social media. “This 9lb goldfish was found in Oak Grove Lake during some work including electrofishing, a method of measuring the health of the fish population.”
Ty Houck with the Greenville County Parks told NBC that the fish was found swimming on Nov. 16 in the 18-acre lake Oak Grove Lake in Greenville, South Carolina. A fisheries management plan was implemented in 2014 and as of June 2015, the fish population was deemed stable enough to open the lake for fishing on two days a week. The lake is intentionally stocked with bass, bream, and catfish but the “goldfish” appeared to be an anomaly.
This weighty fish is pure gold
