Most of us on GST try not to be preachy but when it comes to proper fish pics, the best way to get flamed out on a forum is to post a pic of fish that's been dragged through the mud, dry and being man handled before saying that you released it. If you want to keep you catch, do it within the limits. If you intend to C&R take a quick pic and let it go. I hate seeing people stream side trying to get a pic while the fish flops out of their hands, into the dirt and then grab it to try again. Just let them go. A fish laying in a net in the water makes a great shot as well! Those around long enough also remember the infamous "gill grab" but I wont get into that now...
Wetter is better folks!
