who cares what the guide looks like???wtf.. i could care less what they look like hell they could be hung over still drunk not showered in a week, as long as they are fun to fish with and put you on fish. and get you from point a to b in a safe manner.isn't that what there job is. didn't know fishing guides turned into a beauity contest.

as far as the amount of pics yeah it was alot.. prolly a little to many, probably taped it and took pics of the taping to keep the "he was long arming" or "no way it measured that" coments to rest. and as far the amnount of pics changing what a great fish of a life time it was i dunno about that. they are strong fisheven with misshandling. and im sure hind sight is 20-20. and after relized it was a bit much. who knows mabee it was a film camera and he wantd to make sure he got a good one???
