I wasn't sure whether you were talking about the fish or the guy in the water!
If it swims; I want to catch it!

That is insane.
This beats every Japanese knee's shot out there! You instantly get an understanding of what a beast this fish is.
Well done to all involved.

Very, very well done to Gamefishing India and the angler who caught it.

As Bob said, these pics really give you a true impression of just how massive that fish was.

With this and the 160 cm+ fish from Komodo a couple of months ago, we are seeing some real monsters caught!

Simon, in my mind I'm game....but then again in my mind I'm still 25. 

BIG fish but also nicely proportioned.
