Here's an exquisite hand-colored photo of a serious man holding a giant fish. I'm not sure who looks grumpier, though. The man's facial expression may out-grump the face of the fish. I wonder how much it weighed? To be fair, I wouldn't be in a very pleasant mood either if I had to carry a gigantic dead fish on my back.
