Fool, etc., look at the angle on photo 14 (which I assume is the photo you think is photoshopped). Specifically, look at the angle of the pulley hanging from the tree, and of the rope leading from it. The fish is in the foreground of the photo, and the men lifting it are in the background, quite far from the fish. This does make the fish seem larger than it should be, but it's not photoshopped, or, we believe, intentionally faked.
Storm. Here's a link to 6 more photos of the fish taken from the same angle. They were taken directly off the photographer's SD card. No photoshopping. Period.

The picture is not faked. The fish looks so large in part because the angler is not particularly tall (Anderson is 66 inches tall, the fish was 55 inches long).
Gasping, rifles across our backs, we scrambled up the hill with our hands in the dirt. I looked up into the sun to where the blood trail crossed the ridge and tried to blink the sting from my eyes. Sweat dripped down my forearms, leaving dark prints in the dust. We were moving fast. When you wound a kudu you must catch up to him quickly or he will vanish into the bush, and you will never see him again.
