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?
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?
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.
Hold on Tight to That Squid
There are plenty of pictures of people holding up giant fish in every single corner of the internet, from Reddit to Twitter to dating sites (and it doesn't matter which gender you're after). It might be depressing to see them hoisting huge catches, smiling wide at the camera, but remember, those are staged and planned.
A picture like this one, which has a woman trying to keep a little squid from escaping, doesn't usually make it to the highlight reel. Still, this is the kind of picture that will have people laughing and talking about what happened.
The Most Dangerous Game
Fishing isn't really what most people think of when they're coming up with a deadly sport. That falls to hockey, football, skydiving, or something like that. How could fishing be dangerous? Well, look, you whip a sharp hook around your head a bunch of times and see if you feel like it could be safer.
This guy knows the truth – spend enough time fishing, and you might just have to go to the ER to get a hook dug out of your skull. At least it's one of the good-looking ones that kind of looks like a feather.
