Another thread got me thinking, and rather than bury this in that thread, I wanted to start a separate topic.
I guess in this Facebook/Instagram society that we live in now, it's inevitable that more and more guys are taking more and more pictures, and taking longer and longer in staging that "just right" angle.
Years ago, I heard somebody say something, and from that day on, it is very rare for me to take a picture of any fish that is intended to be released. And if I do decide to take a picture (maybe a particularly colorful or pretty fish), it is almost always a shot of it still in the net, with one side of the fish just breaking the water surface for a few seconds.
What was it that I heard?
"As soon as you pull that fish out of the water, hold your breath until you get it back into the water and revived, because that's exactly what you're putting that fish through".
Think about that the next time you're hoisting a fish, and turning for multiple angles and multiple shots.
