here's the pic. don't think the lake has that much snow on it. just my opinion.(Image removed from quote.)the background doesn't seem to go with the background of the res. no camps/houses in there. again just my opinion

From the sacandaga challenge thread:

Hope I'm wrong but that pic has a photoshop look to it. It's an impressive fish and looks like pic of one caught in Europe a couple years ago. In the picture it looks like it would be 6' long in perspective and they called it 50+" because no one would believe 72".  Just my 2 cents.

No one has been able to confirm that it has come from the Resevoir yet from what I heard.

Actually the text is worded wrong, supposed to say the pike is 28", the guy is 5'1" and he has an arm length of 50"+ from shoulders to tips of fingers. Oh and it was really my neighbor and he caught it on  north end of silver lake  :P

My vote is photoshop.
1st the guys arms are bent & the pike is close to his body. Look at his left arm you can see his elbow is almost at a 90deg, other elbow appears bent the same resting on his leg.  That would make the pike almost as big as he is.
2nd look at the pikes belly where theres a huge indent from the guys right hand, it seems to continue toward the tail more than it should as if the original hand holding the fish was either much bigger, had xtra finger around it, or the fish itself was enlarged.
3rd the pattern on the pike seems to be more clear or higher resolution than the guys face.

I have fished Sacandaga for over 60 years and this would be the best fish I have seen in over 25 years. I have been working in the bait shop the last two days. Call came in about 11:30 Friday morning about this fish. I didn't take the call but know that NO name was given and the guy hung up. I was in the shop yesterday for 10 hours and spoke to NO one that saw the fish. Didn't even see a picture until I got home last night.  Back ground does not look like the Sacandaga area and on Friday there was no more than 2/3 inches of snow on the lake. I am not saying it didn't happen, but I do know that if most anyone of us got one like this we would have been going around showing this fish to someone. The last real big fish I saw were 35 and 39 lbs and they were gotten in the early 80's. They are in there. Hope one of you guys get one. I would like to see one more....hunts2long

My buddy sent me that same pic on 1/9/2013. He is from North Dakota. I can only imagine the stories on where/when/if that fish was caught. During deer season there is always a couple pics of monster bucks that has 1000 diferent stories on where it was shot.

Looking at the background,  that was the first place i thought of... North Dakota or Canada,  awesome fish.

I to have seen this fish that was mailed to my friends phone. The story we were told was that it was caught in Saratoga Lake it was 60 inches but didn't get a weight.  A friend of his mailed it to him and he told me that he didn't know the guys name. I said to him   "So you don't know the guy who caught the fish"   he said  "no"  ??? ??? ??? ::) ::) ::)Boy O Boy
