Me as well. Agree that the edges are clean and it doesn't look like any noise has been applied to mask any smoothing. I would have scaled the image up to do the manipulation, added noise, then use some jpeg compression to hide the noise.
I'd also note that the fisherman has his knee into the belly and is leaning way back to balance himself. This is going to foreshorten his torso and head a lot making them look smaller and shorter relative to the head of the fish.
It looks like it's a real photo, perhaps a short fisherman and a lunker bass. But probably a lot smaller than it looks. Not sure it would be that easy to hold a live 80+ pound fish while standing on rocks in the water!
