You look at this bull shark and you think, wow that has got be be fake
It isn't, it is suppost to be 8 feet long and 600 lb.

Now with a little scale in the photo it becomes much smaller, probably not 8 feet and defiantly not 600 pounds.
So if you get the right angle any fish can look giant

right there it could be 8 feet thats not too huge. but no bull shark would make 600 lbs at only 8 feet, but the bottom pic still looks 8 feet the top one looks 10 feet :lol:

Haha yes maybe then it would weight 600, the article says that most of the fish he catches from his dock/pier are over 300 pounds

Haha right

Hay I Know What You Are Talking About Referencing Trick Photography, Especially When It Comes To Fishing. I Worked In Media For About 12 Years, ( Politicial News On Miami Beach ) And I Remember A Story That Came Out Of The Herald About A World Record Hammer Caught Out Of Holliviller Inlet In The Late 90's. No Dought It Was A Big Hammer Maybe A 12+ Footer But No IGFA WORLD RECORD. I Believe The Record In Florida At The Time Was 991lbs. The Photo They Took Of The Hammer Was On A Left Side Angle With Fishermen And Boat In Back Round. LOOKED LIKE A GRAY PIOLIT WHALE!!! I Knew The Editor At The Time And Otain The Orignals. ( Told The Herald That It Was A Story For Our Memors Section In The Paper ) When You Look At The Photo With The Anglers Square In The Photo Any Untrained Person Can Tell. Again Not To Take Anything Away From The Guys Who Caught The Shark, ( Beautuful Hammer ) Just not A IGFA RECORD!
