John The Fish or John The Photoshop?

Day 42, Wednesday February 11, 1 pm: A belated tribute to John The Fish.
While the rest of TRSNYRC were quaffing wine and eating muffins last Saturday, he was out braving the West Country snow in search of that 20lb pike of his.
As many of you will know, he returned home having caught two fine specimens - one weighing in at 19lb 8oz and the second at 17lb 3oz. So near and yet so far...
I have, incidentally, tried to post his pike picture but the blog does not seem to like it.
I am wondering why.
Perhaps it is because I am technologically inept (see Head Sloth's resolutions).
Or perhaps the picture has been doctored some way. I gather Photoshop can pretty much do anything nowadays, in the right hands. Perhaps John The Fish has airbrushed his face onto a photograph of someone else? Or perhaps he airbrushed the pike in, after catching a 3oz goldfish?
Answers on a postcard.
Keep letting the rest of us know of your successes, be it with rod or Photoshop.
