Need an ID on this beast

I have seen some big Malabaricus, but nothing quite THAT big. I think the biggest I have seen in an aquarium is 16 inches. anyone know of one that is bigger?

Looks like there would be some shine from the sun on the top of it's head around the eye and the background looks interesting.

I agree. The reflection off of the fish seems to indicate that the light source is directly in front of it, but the guy's shadow indicates that the sun is off to his right.
