It's at least a year old. I think it was from last year. Net caught fish. Huge fish regardless.

Did your buddy say his friend caught it on rod and reel?

Coworker (not buddy), and I didn't ask.  I just posted up on here asking of anybody had heard of a big fish being caught.  I was a bit skeptical since, you know, interwebs hoaxes and all...

The girlfriend of the guy in the picture posted the story on a Facebook fishing group I admin on. The fish was 4'11" long and weighed 70+ (guess). "Caught" a few years ago, pulled from a net.

It better be from a net.  The last Opener on Skagit Kings was an early summer dealio a few years back and the hatchery springers are not very big.  Way, way back in time I would hunt for those hogs at Biz Point and Hope Island, even doing a stint in the mouth of the North Fork.  Hooked a few hogs, never landed them.  I was 14 years old in a 14 ft sears aluminum boat.

Oh the memories.
