Looks way bigger than 25lb to me :?

Either that angler is an extremely well developed 5 year old (premature stubble/beard growth :!: ), or he suffers from a serious (lack of) growth disorder :roll:

No way that fish is only 25lb - more like 40lb




















Unless its just the way he holds it :lol:

To put it in perspective, this fish caught was the uk record at a touch under 20lb :!: :!:

The guy has his arms outstretched, almost shoving the bass into the camera lens, it's just the perspective that makes it look a lot bigger.

Rockhunter is spot on. Have a look at his hands/fingers especially on the left hand side of the photo. Hard to tell what size the fish is.

Camera angle/pose or not, that fish is waaaaaay bigger than the uk record I posted in my link , therefore waaaaaay bigger than 25lb IMHO.

Look at the size of the guys hand by comparison to the fishes anal fin, then compare the same on the next photo :wink:
