ehh, not bad

Looks like he is holding out to the camera to me. Depth perception is skewed.

can i be the first to say that doesn't look real? ......hate to be 'that guy' as i would not want someone to question my trophy....but hey its fun....so who thinks this is a photoshop job?
I deer hunted at a camp on the north shore of Tobin Lake two years ago. Our outfitter said they catch several 14-18# walleyes out of his camp each year. There are walleyes bigger than that one there. The world record is from Tobin Lake, so I tend to believe it is real.

If you look near the butt of the fish at his hand, you can see that his finger indents the fish. I think it is very real.

A lot of times if you look closely enough at the Photoshop jobs you can tell by the outlines of the images. If that's a photoshop deal they did a heck of a job cropping and pasting.

My vote is that it's real, and it's spectacular. ;)

[scottyhoover]

good enough for me

[FishTales]

The post included a link to fishing in Sascatchewan, I would have to say it's real. Go back and click on the link, this isn't the first place it was posted.

I am JEALOUS!

Asiede the Photoshop job, there is no way for a person to hold that HUGE fish without losing his balance.

[jpollman]

Nice fish !

I'd be willing to bet just about anything that it's a genuine photo and not "photo shopped". Look at the tail and anal fin area, you can see the shadow on the garage door behind it. If it is photo shopped they spend one heck of a long time and it and they're VERY good.

Well Mallardtone Man has a pic of a nice size walleye for his avatar that he had caught,Well that things must weigh at least 20lbs or more.

Oh I looked the picture more closely and discovered that was one of those golden bugel mouth bass :lol:

That walleye is about 10lbs bigger than any walleye I have ever caught! :rolleyes:

[Salmonous Maximus]

What a dink...throw her back and let her grow some.... :lol:

[Ugly Stick]

Thats a nice eye no dought, but he is holding it out from his body. The one hand is holding the fish in the gill and the other is well hidden with just one finger so you cant compare his hand to the fish.

[fishwitch44]

Take a close look at the bend in his elbows...He isn't holding it out very damn far...Looks like a real pic and nice fish to me..

Here's an article about it with another picture..

wow. Now if THIS is a Photoshop job, then I must say they REALLY know what they're doing.

"Father says he got "the nibble" precisely as he was praying "The Magnificat" (Luke 1:46-55) as part of The Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours -- the official prayer of The Roman Catholic Church."

I'm not Catholic, but I think I think I might bring this passage out with me next time I go out. Couldn't hurt right? :)


I think you just settled the issue Arin.
