That’s Not How You Ice Fish
Look, we might not be experts, but it kind of looks like it’s a little cold out, no? These two hardy fishers come from the Great White North, however, so they’re probably used to the temperature being a bit lower on average. They don’t seem to be paying too much attention to the fishing hole in front of them, as well.
But who cares, right? Both of them look good and they seem to be enjoying themselves. That’s all that matters when it comes to fishing. Who cares that you didn’t catch anything? Or lost a toe to frostbite?
Loaded for the Next Cookout
This fivesome of fishermen are holding up their catches proudly for the camera, and we spy seven nice snags, from small but still proud to an immense sea beast that looks like it belongs in a historical novel about a whaling vessel.
Everybody looks plenty pleased with the fish that they've hauled in, hats, sunglasses, and smiles. There are a couple of amazing examples of fish that could feed a family for an entire day, and you know what that means – the neighbors are getting some fishy gifts.
Ah, Naw, That Ain't Real
That has to be photoshop or something, right? How could a creature that deformed actually survive for any amount of time? And look at the fish it's holding! We kid, we kid. Really, that's one unique-looking fish.
The huge eyes, the oddly-shaped body, the tiny fins on the sides, the fin that stretches out under it...it's all the strangest parts of the ocean mashed into one creature that a guy managed to haul into a boat. At least it doesn't seem to be too big – we might never go near the water again if it was a big fish.
Everybody Seems Surprised in This One
This guy is all kinds of kitted out to bring in the big fish, and while the example in his hand is no minnow, it's still not the biggest thing ever. But that's not really that important because, as we look at this picture, it seems to us that the fish has... a full head of hair?
Is that something that is behind the fish? Is the fish rocking an afro that would be the envy of any seventies dance floor? We're not sure, but maybe we would go fishing more if the fish themselves had such a stand-out style.
We're Eating Good Tonight – Or Are We?
While it's true that people were smaller on average back in the day (this photo is supposedly from the 1920s), there's just no way around it – that is one big fish. It's hung up next to comedian Chester Conklin, but we're calling major shenanigans. We think this one has been edited.
It looks like Conklin has been pasted slap-dash into the picture that actually has the fish in it. Just look at the poor man's feet – they're not really standing on that wood. We need to get to the bottom of this one. Why the edit?
