What would you do?

So imagine this:

 

You're out for a day of fishing, and fire out that 'one last cast' before heading back to shore. You reel steadily along a weedbed giving your rod a twitch now and then, when suddenly the water explodes and your rod is suddenly bent in half as your opponent tries to dive for deeper water.

 

You play the fish out, wondering what on earth could pull so hard, but finally bring it to the surface beside the boat, where you find...

 

THIS:

 

 

!

 

Possibly a photo-chop job, but I'm not so sure.

 

Anyone ever come across something like this?

Optical illusion. This picture has been posted a lot of times. I'm sure 10-20 yrs from now,I'll still be seeing new posts of this picture.

Oh gawd, not again...that thing has shown up more often than a raccoon at the local dumpster, little fish has the stringer out of its mouth into and under the gill plate of the larger fish, when pulled tight, the smaller fishs head went under the gill plate of the bigger fish. I think I caught that one at Lake (you fill in the blank) cause it's been caught in every known lake.

Wait till you see the picture of the pike caught in Manitoba/Alberta/Lake Nippissing or the sturgeon caught in BC/lake Nippissing/Lake Erie

We've got quite a litany..we could have our own Snopes page here. Fishing Snopes...

Fish 1- Pike with two bodies, one head..False...the smaller fish has its head under the gill plate of the larger fish

Fish 2- GIANT Ontario/Manitoba/Saskatchewan et al Northern Pike...False...the fish is a northern pike but was caught in Scandinavia...most likely Holland.

Fish 3- GIANT Lake Sturgeon caught in Ontario/Sask..etc....False..it is a White Sturgeon from the Fraser River in BC.

Now come on Rick... Fish #3... absolutely not true. Caught by a group of OFC'rs... going thru 15 cases of beer over 2 days while reeling that baby in!

Even though it's fake it still looks cool

Richard, Richard, Richard. That massive pike was caught in Holland. People from Holland don't say Holland, they say Netherlands. Sorta like saying Czechoslovakia, that place doesn't exist either.

 

And Netherlands is many many miles from Scandinavia, about 2000 Km from Amsterdam to Helsinki. Not real close.
