I hate to be a skeptic and I've seen it before but does that first photo of the big and little northern look legit?

[bassNspear]

how are you ever going to know if its a real picture or not?

[Cowgirladdict]

haa haa there both real, the first one with the little pike is not a monster pike like the second one from Holland, its probably a 42-44 inch pike, seriously you guys should get that magazine there about 8 more pics of some huge pike from Holland in it

[bassNspear]

what mag did u say it was in? And how can these fish get so huge?

[Cowgirladdict]

click the link i posted up a few, and they get that big from CPR and no spearing

Thank you cowgirl.....Ive seen enough 10+ pound pike getting speared to last me a 1,000 lifetimes. Just dont understand why someone would want to kill something that big when there are literally thousands of smaller northerns swimming around that make a much better meal anyway. All i know is i would love for my son to be able to catch them and release them properly. Such a waste in my opinion.

If it is, then that smaller northern is having an absolutely terrible day.

[nofishfisherman]

Both of these photos have been all over the internet for awhile now. The top pic I am sure is legit just becuase I don't see a reason to fake it also it would be an extremely tough photoshop job.

The bottom pic is of a different fish all together and is a Eurpean fish.

[bassNspear]

and how do you know this?

[musky_tail05]

I remember seeing the picture of that big European pike a few months ago. I think someone said it was the "Rainy Lake" pike.

[bassNspear]

I just think its crazy how we can have all these people talking about different storys about one fish.

[riverrat56]

I really don't think that first picture could be a fake for a few reasons, first, that happens, more than you would think, I have seen it happen once and know from people that it has happened. Second that pike eating the little slimmer isn't all that big, look at it in comparison to the minnow, likely a fathead or crappie minnow, maybe a 36-40" fish. Just someone had the camera ready at the right time. I agree, bad day for that little guy, first a hook in his mouth, then in his big brothers mouth.

The second one has been floating around on the forum already, I personally don't believe it is a real photo, the head looks distorted and the tail looks chopped and grainy compared to the rest of the picture.

[Cowgirladdict]

its real
