Looks to be about a 40 pound fish. Looks can be decieving though. He is holding the fish out towards the camera. Makes it appear larger then it really is. I always tell people dont show your hands in the picture. If you want to fish for real fish you have to go out in the ocean.

That fish looks like a sockeye salmon that had been swimming upstream to its spawning grounds. I've never seen a live sockeye (I don't live anywhere near the west coast) so I can't really say how big they get. The picture does look like there is more than a little photoshopping with it.

Rachel, if you want to catch some really big freshwater fish you should come to my area of the continent. I'll show you where you can catch 30 lb plus Lake Trout as well as huge Northern Pike and Muskellunge.

That sounds like fun. I like to fish where you never know whats going to bite the hook. Maybe something small, maybe something montrous. I'm sure many of you have never heard of a bluefish? THE most aggressive, nastiest, toothiest fish in the ocean. It's a damn good thing they dont get more then 20 to 30 pounds or no one would swim in the ocean. Possesed of very strong jaws with teeth that interlock bottom to top, blues destroy everything in their path and then regurgitate so they can kill some more. I've seen many feeding frenzies where the baitfish jump up onto the beach trying to make a giant leap of evolution just to avoid the bluefish. Only 2 fish the bluefish is afraid of... bluefin tuna and mako sharks nothing else can swim fast enough to catch them

Hands are not the only thing to leave out of the picture . . .
