That's probably because you forgot what stripers look like.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Doesn't look THAT huge, considering that in the photo it looks like he's standing back about 3-4 feet from the fish.
With the camera close to the fish it would appear that it was a really huge fish.
Kind of like ALL those photos of people hold their "big catches" out a full arm's length in front of themselves to make the fish look larger than it really was.
