What would be the reason to bs this story. This isn't some new world record or obscenely large fish for it's species. Just a large spawned out dead king. Man, I've held countless fish that size and larger out away from my body for pics. Not saying I held them long, just long enough to snap the shot though. Not like he's carrying the thing around. If they were saying this was a 130lb new world record, yes i'd cry bs. But I've handled thousands of kings and say why not?
