not sure if abuela linked the same article, i cannot open it in chrome for some reason.
puerto plata digital had this article yesterday: Presunto
they claim, of course that the fish was a man eater and it strikes fear in the hearts of the locals.
Looks like some simple photo trickery. Someone hanging the fish in front of the camera. No ropes or rigging to lift up the fish? Just one photo?

It's only 264 lbs more than the previous largest grouper ever caught.
It is being assumed that this particular Jewfish is 700lbs. The article only states that this species can reach weights of up to 300 kilos (700) lbs.
