Check Out This Long Bar Pic And Tell Me What You Think

Check out this pic about halfway down of Bill Kazmaier.

Kaz bending a 3/4 inch bar

If anybody with really good eyes and a knowledge of long bar bending can look at that and tell me your opinion. I'm a huge fan of Kazmaier so I'm not sure I can be objective but I've bent quite a few longer bars in that fashion.

Question, does it appear that, #1 the bar is at longest 4 feet and possibly 3 1/2 feet? #2 does it appear that he's crossing the ends by a longshot to make a fish? I've seen him make a fish out of a 5/8 inch bar like it was nothing but to make a fish with the ends crossed that far out of 3/4 inch that's at longest, 4 feet would be a phenomenal feat at least in my opinion. I'd love to find a better and larger version of that pic.

What does it look like to you guys?

Oh yeah, I've read of these challenges at these presentations before online and why does nothing that cool ever come to my area?

Oh well.

Either way, friggin impressive. I've bent a hot rolled 3/4 to about 100 degrees but that is it. The best I have seen personally is parallel. So crossing a 3/4 would be in-human so I guess Kaz would be the guy to do it.
