That it is.
And I'm not sure what you're asking. That's a massive beluga sturgeon caught in 1922. As the image title says.
Comparing that's all
I'm a big fan of monster fish

But then...there is that other ten percent! (Twilight zone music). 
Recently fossils of Flores man indicate hobbit like humanoids lived side by side with early humans. The memory of these hobbits likely gave rise to early myths about elves and dwarves.
Likewise stories of giant Yeti/Sasquatch like humanoids are memories from early human interaction with extinct humans.
So my guess is that human memories of serpentine creatures are also from extinct beasties that dwelled in freshwater lakes that were hunted and became extinct.
Could any of them survived? who knows

Yet another sighting of the Loch Ness monster has supposedly been recorded, with a new image doing the rounds. A photograph supposedly taken at the Scottish lake or loch shows what appears to be a large grey hump moving through the water. Subsequent images reveal the 'monster' is heading away from the camera.
The images were posted to the Facebook group Anomalous Universe by the group's founder Steve Carrington.
According to Loch Ness research blog Loch Ness Mystery, Mr Carrington said: "Took this in Loch Ness last September but I don't know what kind of fish it is".
While fooling many of the group, the Twitterverse was quick to conduct its own investigation.
As it turned out, the Loch Ness monster in this image was a catfish - and had been photoshopped into the photo.
The specific catfish has even been tracked down, which had been captured in the river Po in Italy by anglers Benjamin Gründer, Kai Weber, and Marcus Brock in 2018.
Markings on a catfish's back are unique, much like a fingerprint, so the people of Twitter troweled through famous images of catfish and discovered the one in the picture, which weighed a staggering 286lb when it was captured.
By analysing the back of the beast which is poking out the water, Twitter account @supahflylol discovered the identical markings on the catfish from the 2018 image.
Supahflylol said of the image: "Can't believe we gotta say this, but the loch ness monster picture is fake. Compare these unique patterns here."

Plesiosaurs from the Mesozoic are very similar to seals and otters
