I'm not so sure it's not a big fish. Let's say the guy is 6 feet tall and has a forearm length from wrist to elbow of 12-13". Given the dimensions in the 2D photo from nose to tail that's a 52-56" fish depending on foreshortening. That picture is deceptive, the dimension from his wrist to the fish's nose is a lot bigger than you'd think.

The fact that it's held out from the fisherman, and somebody had to support his extended arm also indicate a high weight.
