Bruce baby it's lonely at the top eh? LOL Not picking sides, I just wish to share a learning experience for myself. until joining PB, I had never been personally included with big fish, and the photos associated with them. I was at Bruce's last fall, for the PB gathering. Some large bass were caught there, and accompanying photos were taken. One photo, particularly the one with Sue Cruz, was shared on another website. I eventually caught wind of the controversy surrounding this fish. It educated me personally. Fantastic fish, beautiful woman, and outstanding photo. Many were claiming the photo was altered, and that it was even a mounted fish. I was there, saw the fish that were being caught, and the photos and techniques being used.
Some may call different photo techniques "trick photography", or sometimes when the photo actually turns out good, it is labeled as photo-shopped. Personally I can never get the real true feel for the fish unless I'm actually there.
There's a gal I went to school with. Her husband runs a muskie/pike guide service in Wisconsin. I have seen many of their photo's. But since I have never caught or weighed anything like this, I will have to go with them until I find out for myself.
