Let me see...

Clients decide to release fish with as little handling as possible so they leave the fish in the water (the proper thing to do) and take quick measurements and a quick picture. They sacrifice fame so that fish survives.

Now if they manhandled the fish and took a bunch of hero/get on the cover of STS pictures the fish would probally not survive.

More credit it to them for the crappy pictures I say!!!
