Releasing my baby. Got to love photoshop, pretty average effort, but better than what it was. Notice anything different?

Have you erased a double chin?
Or is the hat a bit different???
Maybe the nail varnish is missing? (Sorry that's Steve C)
Or have you shrunk the marlin so it fits in the frame, coz it was really a 1000 pounder?
Or is that really your head superimposed on Gribbo's body?
We will never know. (Hmmmmmm?)

It's amazing how u can make a gardie look like a decent size Marlin isnt it, gotta love technology. ;)
Ya, took a coupla minutes but worked out the change. looks pretty good!
For those who dont know adams fish came in with a damaged bill. The tip had broken off and it looked quite fresh (dunno if it happened during the fight or not!!

Me too!!!
Photoshop or no photoshop it is an awesome capture, probably one of many to come now you have broken your duck.
Spoke to a few Exmouth locals recently and they are determined to get me a billy up there next season. They know what they are doing so I can only get myself up there again and trust my angling instincts if the chance comes along.
Damn I want one of those things on my species list.

Luck
Put it down to pure luck Andy. Guess it was right lure choice on the day, even thou Funkybunch had his lure swiped about half an hour before. Guess when your numbers up, your numbers up. I had planned on getting myself a 300 pounder for the 3 months before hand. In the end I couldn't care less about its size, just the fact that all my tackle held up and everything went perfectly was gave me confidence in my game rigging and a sort of satisfaction in itself.
Certainly a magic feeling that I hope you guys get to enjoy soon as well.
