craigdritchie Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Nice fish, so there's really no need to hold it a mile out and use such a wide angle lens that it distorts the image. Why do people insist on doing that? Edited October 14, 2011 by Craig_Ritchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 there's really no need to hold it a mile out maybe the two belly's combined he had to? Sorry Dave, I had to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ha! Maybe that's the reason. I dunno, you see so many pictures where people hold the fish way out in front to try and make it look bigger. Makes me wonder why they have to do that. Is it not big enough? And do they really think they're fooling anyone? Too bad, because Dave's pike really does look like a nice fish. I wish I could see what it really looked like. I've always preferred more natural pictures. Both the fish and the angler look better. Just my humble two cents'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do they really think they're fooling anyone? It can work in reverse though too Craig. If you catch a monster fish and accidentely hold it too close to your body you can actually make your 6 foot long, 50 pound fish appear to be small Edited October 14, 2011 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remastered Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Awesome fishies. But how about some measurements since he's holding it so close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Hope I am not alone, but I ducked twice reading this thread. I think it is a cool shot. Lew... beautie! ha. Edited October 14, 2011 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ya, I always hate it when people make their pictures look different and interesting. my mom hates me. Why can't we see the exact same, full length horizontal pike shot every single time, from every person?! What a fish Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you catch a monster fish and accidentely hold it too close to your body you can actually make your 6 foot long, 50 pound fish appear to be small Love that photo, Lew. And you're right, I can clearly see the distortion. Bummer. A picture doesn't have to be boring just because the guy isn't straining to hold the fish out farther.
