But , alas , it is a fisherman 's story as to how large this elk was since I did n't get a photo . In all honestly , he had to have weighed over 700 pounds . He made the elk in the photo above look like a juvenile .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why does the speaker refer to not getting a picture of the elk as a fisherman 's story ?


Because fisherman have a tendency to claim they got a large fish without verifiable evidence
