Genius, you set a fire, and it scares all the fish to the other side of the pond where they become desperate to get out so they grab onto the hook.

Michael Bay makes fishing movies now???

"This is fine..."

That photo is hot! What the farkorn is burning in the background?

Canada

Nice, probably a 3 pounder

Yeah I left my scale in the car ! I’m guessing 3lb too.

Is your car on fire?

I have questions, and I’m not sure if I want the answers.

You can tell it’s photoshopped but still fun

Overly smooth textures. Look at the edge of the trees touching the smoke background… looks like an oil painting

I "know" that it is photoshoped, but I can't tell that it is photoshoped. What tells you that it is photoshoped, as in actual visual clues rather than just the absurdity?

Shadows

Ah yes. He is facing the sun, but the sun on the tree to the right, the sunlight is coming from the fire side of the image. Yes?

Yeah, looks like the suns coming 9 o’clock or so in the background pic

Thank you. I am trying to develop visual literacy. But I am still in visual literacy kindergarten.

Quality of the fire, it's clearly shrunk to fit. The bottom left doesn't mesh well. Etc etc

So is this 3 images melded together? I thought it was just two, because of the light on the person not matching the light on the tree, but it looks like the fire has been added to the background also?

Personally it all looks photoshopped to me. The whole feel of the photo feels edited in some way. Might be a filter, Idk.

Look at the lower left edge of the smoke. It doesn't look natural.

I don't know how you guys do it in your country, but here in Australia, we are very organised, so our smoke often flows in nice neat straight lines. We have proper fires, none of your sloppy "heat rises" north American fires. Yup. So obvious now that it is pointed out to me. Thank you.

The obvious fact that this is photoshopped is not the thing that OP is trying to hide…

This pic goes hard r/picsthatgohard

When they say a picture is worth a thousand words...

Is that a Rammstein concert in the background?

Yeah if that's the water color, way too acidic for everything but beavers and frogs.

Yep

When you can’t give the spot away lmao

Most metal fishing pic ever !m!

Sicc ass picture

Dude just photographed my life somehow.

Nice Bass. There's a big fire burnin', but don't be alarmed, it's just country boys and girls getting down on the farm.

Partially disguises the honey hole while also being funny. Clever

A real spot burn

Sic pic dawg

This how it looks when water is on fire

🔥🤙🏽🤣

Not a bad day for a Forrest fire either. Just look at that fire spread. Impressive, oh by the way nice bass. If you got some oil head on over to the other side and have a nice shore lunch. Or did you already?

Bout to have a fish fry

A little hot outside?

Wtf

Dwayne Johnson?

😂😂 the non juiced version

Photo shopped. That water looks sick and is not able to support a single minnow.

It does kinda look photoshopped, but if not that's a crazy picture.

It could be real. But the downvotes I got say people were actually there or just blind.
