I think that saggy belly gives it's immense size away.

I can't imagine they ferocity of a fish that big.
I love catching wahoo.
Cos there really good on the tooth.

I wouldn't of picked that.

I knew mine was extraordinary, but it didn't match that pic.
Though mine iwas only weighed and shared between the villages.

Typical for me, I generally don't do photos.
I'm not really interested in any form of records.
If I'm happy that's the only smile I'm interested in.

I agree it looks bigger than 57kg.  Photographic techniques and wide angle lenses make it almost impossible to see the true perspective these days.

Having said that your 85kg wahoo is exceptional.  That exceeds all current IGFA All Tackle and line class records.
