Been coming to this pond for forty years. Never seen anything like this. Looks like a giant gold fish. At least 4 feet long.

Koi are giant goldfish, a species of carp, this is what can happen when a little goldfish is released in a pond with lots of available food. They keep growing until they die, which may be fifty years or more. If this one is 4 ft long, it's twice the size of the largest Koi I've ever seen, but it is theoretically possible.

Their size is also partly dependent on the size of the water body they're in. Releasing Koi into a lake or large pond guarantees they'll get bigger. Four feet, however, is a monster!!
