Northern Pike Photo Gallery

it is an obvious photoshop job

lets start at the tail. the tail was obviously erased. its way to thin, and it is not lying on the ice.

the black line on the edge of both the anal and dorsal fins.

the 2 lines under the dorsal fin signify that he obviously added another segment of the fish. and it is not a wrinkle on the photograph. if it was, the line would continue through the entire picture.

at the big bend in the fish. to make a fish bend like that his hand would have to be there and showing. and since its not, the fish's tail should be turned over more.

now just behind the fishes head, note the dots and how they just seem to shoot straight down. that is where he warped the fish to make it seem fatter.

and the tail that just seems to float in the air...

obviously photoshopped.

I highly doubt that 61" pike pic is photo shopped. Its just one of those old pics that have been floating around the internet that gets recycled into a new fish story email every few months. One day its a new MN record from mille lacs next its a world record from poland. Its a big fish for sure, 61" probably not but a legit pic...

We've caught muskies in Mille Lac with tail sections like this missing. Sometimes if a fish gets a fungus it'll lose the tail (or section) and regrow it from new. We had a 47" muskie without anything back there a few years ago. The fish was healthy and strong, but without the tail. My buddy was ticked that he got cheated out of his first 50"er.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
