It’s his finger
Kennedy press boss Heidi Frederickson sends an e-mail. The mystery arm is the fisherman's finger.
I've attached several pictures below and there will be more e-mails that follow with additional pictures. The picture on your blog has not been doctored/photoshoped in any way shape or form. I was in the boat when he caught the fish, yes he really caught the fish - it was not in a live-well, caught by anyone else, etc. I was the one who took the pictures.
If you look closely and look at the additional photos and how Kennedy is holding the fish you'll notice that 'thing' is his finger. While I understand the idea of a "doctored" photo is much more amusing to some than others, it was really disappointing to see something completely false and misleading on your blog... again.
A simple phone call could have prevented all of this - I hope you will consider that in the future. My cell is xxx-xxx-xxxx if you ever need to reach me.
Here's the pictures:

Here's the close-up of the finger.

That's definitely a knuckle.
For the record, I continue to believe the picture is real. I'm rethinking the notion that it's eaten a human, however.
Still too dangerous. And I need someone to bait the hook.
