Oh yeah, it's blowing up alright....but not without it's more than fair share of criticism about the photo, the lack of slime and dirt on him, and the poor image quality compared to the rest of his images he posts on FB from the same location.

Also, the lower part of the pole is in front of the dude and the upper part is back of him. Note that if both people lowered their arms down their hands would be about knee level. They couldn't pick up that much meat much less hold it. Etc. etc.

Looks like the postcard of the guy riding his horse out of a high mt. lake, and a fish like that strapped to the side of the horse. That's why I discard most fish photos in mags., and on sites like this one. Way too easy to photo-shop the picture. Photos used as evidence in jury trials are now thrown out for that very reason. And holding the fish out at arms length for a photo gets old as well. Trying to deceive the viewer is darn near rude.
