I may catch crap for this but I'm calling BS. First that looks a little bit photoshopped. And 2nd that guy looks like he is holding that 70lb fish up way too easily. Kind of makes you wonder.

Looks like there is a blue rope holding it up.

If you look closely it looks like some type of blue rope is holding the fish up and the man is holding it in a way to keep it from spinning on him. I am sure there is no way he could hold a 70# fish up that way. Awsome catch. But I do believe what you are seeing is real, he is just being assisted somehow

If you look above his hand, there is a rope holding the fish up. He's just posing with it, like he's holding it up.

I have caught stripers and hybrids in the 15 lb range and this one dwarfs those. I will say it looks legit. Stripers are very thick also and weigh a bit more than the appear to be also.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I think it's real, but it looks like it didn't survive. Shame too, it's cool to see them.
