Perspective is possibly playing tricks on our eyes & making it look larger than it is ?.......although I'm not saying it's a newt & looking at how many people it is taking to hold it up . What length would you say it was ?

I think this is cruel also...but it has been done and can't be reversed, I thought I would post the pictures as it's not often a fish of such size gets landed. Although 22ft Great Whites have been caught of Malta a couple of times. I also think fishing for sport is cruel..period.. Perhaps this thread should be closed before it turns into something it was never meant to become.
