    The blue on the collar of the tanktop seems way too blue. The net handle appears quite blue. The entire fish is blue except one little spot on the gill, which is regular walleye color. The water is VERY blue, which isn't abnormal sometimes, but it doesn't seem to match up with the low quality photo taken.

    Self-correcting cameras can add colors to a picture in a funny way, but there sure seems to be a lot of extra blue in this pic.

    I was actually scrutinizing the picture for age (checking to see if it was from the 70's or 80's due to the texture of the photo). I was looking at the instrument cluster and other things when all of the extra blue popped out at me.


    Eyecrazy has been a good contributor to the site, which is why I am not eager to point a finger, but am wondering if the photo got self-corrected or chenged in some other way.
    If you read the original post (edited: an amended to actually the 4th post in this thread) it very clearly stated that this is a picture of a picture because he was unable to or not capable of uploading the photo from his phone.

    You are correct that Eyezcrazy has been a good contributor to this forum. With that in mind why would anyone deliberately post false or altered material or pictures and jeopardize their good standing with other members?

    This post by me is only intended to point out that there was a concern on Eyezcrazy's part about the photo's quality, so he took the time to point out that this was not the original photo as appearing on his phone's camera and uploaded here for our viewing but was actually a picture of the original as it would appear on his phone. I accept that explanation and do not question the authenticity of his post, catch or picture.


    The photo also shows that both fish have apparently been bled as the area under the gills has been cut. A practice not common in the 70's or 80's.
