Lawrence Clarke, a 37-year-old sales manager, captured a stunning Golden Orfe fish, which hit the scales at a sensational 8lb 5oz in south London. /VCG Photo

The angler was celebrating since the weight of the golden fish is enough to break the long-standing record with the UK current record which has been in place for about two decades. /VCG Photo 

The angler Lawrence has officially applied with the British Record Fish committee in hope to get a place in the historical record. /VCG Photo
