Infamous trophy hunter Jimmy John Liautaud denies claims he’s the naked man in the bizarre ‘humping the shark’ photo
But people point out there are many similarities between the angler in the disturbing image and the US restaurant mogul
NOTORIOUS trophy hunter Jimmy John Liautaud has denied claims he's the naked man in the infamous "humping the shark" photo.
The sandwich mogul emerged as the prime suspect after social media users posted chilling photographs of his kills as evidence he was capable of such a sick stunt.
They say not only does the man in the disturbing image look just like self-confessed fishing fan Jimmy - he even has his trademark toothy grin.
His sickening hobby has prompted several campaigns to shun his business and the hashtag #BoycottJimmyJohns was enjoying a resurgence today as suspicion grows he is the man in the shot.
After years of posing with dead elephants, rhinos and bears, the multi-millionaire - who owns restaurant chain Jimmy John's - distanced himself from the sport in 2015.
TV conservationist Anneka Svenska urged her followers to find and identify the man, writing on Twitter: "Where is the humour in humiliating slaughtered animals?"
