Maybe I've been watching Monster Fish too much

is it impossible for an 10-11lb fish being caught out of those waters?

I'm not saying that one is. It looks freaking huge to me but I'm no fish weight expert.

Maybe. Maybe not. The food is there. Are the genes? I don't know. I think the slow growth rate is the biggest factor in why a DD smallie is a rarity in the Great Lakes. 

Hey Dwight. Is it or is it not 14"

Looks legit to me. Besides why would I ever doubt you.

Didn't even hit the mark. That's a Door County bass. Full of gobies I presume. Was 13" and twice the weight of any 13" largemouth.

Well you were holding it out so far in front of your body and the camera was so close and you were using a fish eye lens and I will always give you an inch before calling foul. Heck I might even give you a pound but not 2-4 lbs.

If you go back and look at the comments on the Facebook post, this one guy pried a whole bunch of info out of the person who posted the picture and then went and called any places the guy told him they had it checked, and none of the places knew anything about it. It is obviously fake. This is almost as bad as the Joseph Zajko thing I posted a few years back when he kept claiming he had caught a whole bunch of 7+ lb smallies in a small PA reservoir but had no pictures and no witnesses.
