Lowndes County - South Georgians will never forget the capture of the one thousand pound Hogzilla, but now one Lowndes County man says he's caught "Carpzilla."

Ernest McDonald pulled this massive grass carp out of a private pond in Lowndes County.

The fish is so big, it broke his net.

The North American record weighed 78 pounds, 12 ounces and was caught out of the Flint River in 2003.
