From a personal standpoint, I would just add that pics with the fish in the water are very cool. We're taking them more and more. Also, fishermen who care and are experienced can get a hero shot with the fish out of the water for less than 5 seconds. All you have to do is keep the fish in the water while your bud gets ready with the camera (hopefully the camera's out before you land the fish), then the photographer says "OK", you lift the fish, snap, the fish goes back in.

My partner and I both carry cameras so we can get it done quickly while the other lands the fish. (Actually, I'm still waiting for pics of my hen from yesterday. ) I have a remote control for my camera. If I'm solo, I'll set it on a rock just before the fish is ready and hold the remote (in a plastic bag) in my teeth. After I remove the hook, I hit the remote button, drop the remote in my vest pocket, and lift the fish.........in 6 seconds. Fish goes bye bye. At home, I rotate and crop the pic on my computer. They often turn out as good as if someone was there with me. You can do this with a self-timer too, but it's trickier because you have to be closer to the camera.

I do live in OR, BTW. I'd never lift a WA fish!
