A couple of days ago I hooked, landed, and successfully released a 41"x24" chrome buck. Believe me it was a three ring circus act. I managed to get a few good pics of the fish as well as a so-so "self portrait". The pics are quality enough to supply the taxidermist with ample to create a repilca mount. I was fortunate to be able to block the fish in a shallow back eddy with my driftboat while I fumbled with the camera. I placed the camera on a stump(a tripod would have been great) and barely had enough time to chase the fish down and get back into the picture. Certainly not front page quality but any solo pic of a without harming the fish is a trophy in itself. Good luck!
