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.
