Real or Photoshop

[elops]

Got sent this Barra pic, purportedly from Kinchant, real or photoshop ?

[Zim man]

i just received it as well in an email from a guide up at mondy. i dont thinks it a nile perch as tinnies are not common in africa (especially carpetted ones). imo a fish that size would have done the rounds when it was caught (newspapers tv etc like the world record mondy fish) and if i caught it, there would be better pics going round the net.

so to answer your question...... leaning towards real but i am sleep deprived so who knows

[crazywalrus]

I do not believe it is real. If it is it would have to be a Nile Perch. A terrible photo

[elops]

Sc. is clear, it is a Barra not a Nile Perch.

Kinchant, Mondy Awoonga anyone ?

[ellicat]

I'll have a go and say it is neither real nor photo shopped.

Nor is it a barra. Barra don't get that big. I've been to Mondy twice so I know :whistle:

Of course it might be a barra and that is a very small man on a very small boat.....

The photo is definitely PS. The light source creating the Shadows is not from the same angle as the camera shot. How many People have a secondary light source when out fishing at night. Also the Shadow is pretty poorly done. Only the Guy and the Fish are casting a shadow.

what if it is real?

[Manni79]

Haha look at the shadow from the fish on the guys leg

It's a good effort but many imperfections that prove that shadow has been inserted

Good effort. Real fish probably, from where who knows, real photo no way !!!

[Jords]

Shadow looks a bit bs to me, gonna say photoshopped

[BassTracker]

Its 100 photoshoped, save the photo then zoom you'll see a world of mistakes. The only place Ive seen barra that are huge and fat are Tinnaroo and none approaching that

[Guest]

I think its real, but in saying that i think its been photoshop a bit

Cheers

I think its a real but the location and secondary light source are a worry

[Doobsy]

Photoshopped... Poorly.

Firstly I think a fish that big would go well over 100KG and why is there no other photos of the fish lying on the deck and as someone self said why hasn't this been all over the media outlets and all over the net I'm about 99% sure it been photo shopped and very badly

Also most of the XL fish in monduran went over the wall during the floods with the 3.2 metre's of water all reports out of there is the biggest fish caught have only been in the mid 80cm range

Here is another photo of the best, i am pretty sure it is a barra. if you look closely at the pic you will see the saddle marks on the side of the fish too

If it is it is a new world record. The current record is about 37kg from Tinaroo Dam.

Not even the same dimensions in relation to the angler...

Henry, I'll put your reckoning that it's real down to the fact that you went to the pub for lunch and forgot to eat anything. :whistle:

[Surfingant]

I'm going with....... I can't decide It sure looks real and it would be great to think there are fish that size getting around the dams. I think I'll lean towards real on this one but am sceptical as to where all the hoopla is. This is surely a record barra and to not have read about it anywhere does make you wonder.

[Young_fella]

it's photoshopped, The shadows are the dead give away. I do believe the fish is real, but it was definetly not originally that big.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Its real I should know I caught it hahahaha if only

who gave kreel his internet priveledges back?
