Huge MI pike
« on: Feb 24, 2015, 12:59 PM »
This picture is making its way around face book. The posters says its 46" and 25LB. The fish is clearly larger than that but the photo looks altered. Just doesn't look right according some photo experts.

It could very well not be photo shopped. If any of you have caught some decent sized fish, you know how easy it is to make it look massive by holding it away from your body. It is clear that is what's going on here.

I agree with FishinNY...his arms are extended and gives it that massive look.
Either way...nice catch Leo!!! ;D

Exactly. Probably not bigger then claimed, and definitely not photoshopped. Just a long-armed photo.. i get such a kick out of all you guys saying photoshop...

That fish is big tho. You can tell how deep it is.

Nice looking fish ........his right hand just should be showing , fish's body is creased , and based on the size his hand should be showing I think  ?

altered! that pike is bigger than the guy holding it, something isn't right with his left hand either, elbows are bent w/one resting on his knee, so it isn't a stiff arm photo,  but...who cares?

Its a good fish.

The image was taken by people that know to get the fish closer to the lens and keep fingers/hands out of the image.  Long arming a fish and having your hand wider than your head is a size give away.  Done like this there is no way to really gage how big it is.  Masterfully done.

^^^^This is what I'm seeing^^^^^  Also note the darker colors of the fish's spots where the crease is/where the guys hand SHOULD be. def. Photoshopped and not an arm extension special.

No photoshop done, just a good extension on the arms. It was caught in Branch County, Michigan. This guy pulls some monsters through the ice. He posted  a 44", 22 lber on his Facebook page about week before this one.

Boom goes the dynamite. :o thats for clearing it up. I was getting a good laugh at everyone saying photoshop, though.
