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.
