It seemed appropriate to this thread. If you are going to exaggerate the size of the fish, maybe don’t do it by over 100% and provide photographic evidence that you are completely full of it.

In this case, stating his very nice 3 lb fish was bigger than the world record would have been more believable without a picture.
