Cimzia79 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Saw this on another forum, but it seems that another lost photo of the Perry World Record was found recently, and I believe the Creek Chub Wiggle Fish to be a swimbait so this is relevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilcatfish Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I sent that pic to a friend of mine who does graphic design/photo shop and she said it has clearly been altered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilcatfish Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I wonder where this pic came from anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanhick Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 This is also supposed to be the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcatfish Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 This is also supposed to be the fish. This picture looks more legit to my novice eyes. Its funny how different the guys look in the two pics, different hats etc. The first one just looks like a cartoon or one of those cheesy "old time photos" you get done with friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-G Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I will put my photography knowledge to the test here, and go out on a limb. I'm 88.79% positive that picture is entirely fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalliebigs Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 This picture looks more legit to my novice eyes. Its funny how different the guys look in the two pics, different hats etc. The first one just looks like a cartoon or one of those cheesy "old time photos" you get done with friends I read somewhere that the guy next to the kid isn't Perry and that nobody knows who it is/was, or if that is even supposed to be "the" fish. In this digital world, I can't imagine that photo is real until somebody has the actual hard copy to review. Interesting I would feel that way when one of the other things about Perry's fish that amazes me is how many people have revisionist theories applying today's circus atmosphere around "world record" to what might or might not have happened then.

Ali Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 The funny thing is that it doesn't matter whether you believe in Perry's WR or not. There is a modern day record fish (1 oz. heavier) that was caught in Japan and weighed on a modern scale and has plenty of pics/video to prove its existence. I think we should forget about this nonsense and bring the WR back to the states -Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Seems to me that if the Perrys fish wasn't real hes the best liar ever. Its not like the weight is outlandish. All the biggest fish caught are right on par to that weight. The japan fish was an ounce heavier? Dottie was within a pound when snagged I think, not sure but close. For them to make that good of a guess 70+ yrs ago, then hell they can have the record! I mean if it was like 28-30 lbs and we never seen any fish close I could believe it was a hoax but that weight seems pretty much legit to me. Picture or not, I don't think bass have decided that 24 lbs is the upper ceiling for weight just cuz they heard that's what the record is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodgers762 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I find it strange that the picture is all dirty and tarnished around the edges, but not at all in the middle of the picture where the guy is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDBEAD Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I couldn't care less if it's "real" or not. Just looking at it, I think it's a cool pic. I'd definitely hang a re-print of that pic on the wall of my cave. I like Ceasar's analysis of how it is not some outlandish claim. Never thought of it that way before.
