If you must have a photo of your catch, why not photgraph the fish in the water? Otherwise please follow these guidelines.
- Keep the fish in the water until you are ready to take the photo
- Do not keep the fish out of the water for more than a few seconds at a time. Dunk the fish between shots.
- Kneel or squat with the fish, or pose in the water, to ensure that a dropped fish will not be injured or damaged.
- Hold the fish in a manner to give adequate support. No fingers in the gills or eyes.
- Cradle heavy fish.
- Avoid squeezing, especially at the throat where the heart is located.
