i think this is the one you're talking about, and it's definitely more than 9 feet long.

you got it I guess logical the fish is alittle bigger height a 1 and a half of the man's height which I'm guessing is ~5 feet, so I came to a guess of 8'. I think it's well photoshoped(unless there is a arowana that gets that big)

that is an arapaima gigas, related to the arowana. It can get to 15 feet, although this is rare. They are the longest recorded freshwater fish. in other words, it's probably not photoshopped.

Here is a better picture of an arapaima (they are also known as Pirarucus).
