Has to be one of the longest bass I've ever seen. It obviously needs some food as well. And yes he released it back into the pond, hopefully to put some weight on.

I caught one similar to that when I was a tyke. Don't remember the exact measurements but it was over 21" and only weighed about 3 pounds.
