His body position position isn’t what I would expect from someone holding an almost 90 pound mass. And where is his left hand?

That is what I was thinking.  It would be really tough to hold a 90# fish that far away from the body..  Looks like a monster but that photo gives me doubts....

Well it's about 8 years before Photoshop became cool
And the dimensions are the reason for the weight
It's dead and partially decomp so its probably 65 in those pics
And both are leaning back and resting the fish on their bodies so it's not unbelievable
If I showed u a pic of someone holding a 80lb halibut the posture would be the same.

Besides that I would love to hook into one of those
I just put a 26 in the boat this morning and it's was a screamer...80 would be insane.
