Hey Guys, Bill here… when it comes to the world of sharks, there are some really amazing photos out there. In just a few clicks you can see anything from unbelievable Giant Tiger Sharks, to giant Megamouth Sharks, and giant Great Whites Galore… Some of the pictures showing people catching sharks are pretty amazing as well, like this one.
It was sent it by Thedodge DD, TheVivid and Mackenzie Campbell just to name a few. It shows two guys bringing in one the biggest, most epic great white sharks I have ever seen.
But if this picture real? Or is just another Big Fat Ocean Going Fake… Why don’t we get out our fishing gear and see what we can find out.
Looking around on the internet, there are lots of copies of this picture, but information on who took it, where it was taken and when is not easy to come by. Lucky for me, billschannel has a new group of highly talented researchers called the “Chewey Piranhas.” And thanks to them, I have this, the official answer.
Now before I can open this, I need to get your answer first - sorta like a game to help you test your real or fake skills - get it? Now, what I need you to do and is make up your mind right now and yell it out as loud as you can - real or fake. If you can’t do that, then just pause the video right here for second, go to the comment section, leave your answer there, then come back here and play the rest of the video. Ok you ready… and go!
OK, did you do it? Good, so now without wasting one more second I’m going to get right to the answer here so we can see if you were right about what’s going on in this picture.
And here we go
The picture of the shark being hauled in by two fisherman has been examined and determined to be… a perfectly authentic rendition of what is usually referred to as a BFF… or BIG FAT FAKE…
I kinda thought so, but what I’m wondering is, what is the real story behind this megahoax.
Thanks to Chewy Piranaha researchers, Shelby Leanne, Prom Sobunsak, and Homza Andreas, we were able to track down the original photos used to make this tricky composite.
The first photo is this one. It comes from the deck of a boat in the Cayman Islands called “Pocket Change.” Boat owner David Corbin posted the picture on his blog about a fishing trip from 2002. Now if you look closely at this picture, you see the fisherman actually has half a Baracuda in his hand. This is likely bait they are using.
The second photo is this one… Despite a heroic search by Homza Andreas, we couldn’t find the original photographer, but for the purposes of the fake, we’re pretty certain it was just taken from this site which offers it as a wallpaper for your computer screen.
We don’t have the name of the person who created the fake, but even of we could, we wouldn’t be able to honor top marks for this piece. If you look closely right here, you can see the half a barracuda still in the fisherman’s hand…. Sloppy…
Ok well that is all the time I have for this video. I want to thank Thedodge DD and TheVivid for sending in that picture, and for the rest of you guys, if you have a picture or video and you aren’t sure whether it’s real or not, send it in to me at bills [email protected] and I will take a look. See you next time.
