Ripley, Doc, Opie, BFD and others are spot on and I think their pics reflect that.

Just a couple of things I would like to add.

1: Know when NOT to take a pic! If the area you landed your fish does not contain nice calm, clean water then forgo the pic. Graveled tailouts being absolutely perfect. This is most often up to the rower/driver as to picking the best bank spot to net the fish. Stay away from muddy backwaters and real fast current. The rower/driver needs to be firm about this as the angler is often screaming directions counter to this but I've gotten pretty good at ignoring front seaters smile . But as the angler it is ultimately up to you. Many times I've long released a fish as it would just take too long to row to a proper spot. I'll also forgo the pic if I see any blood!

2: Use a net! A proper net is a comfort zone for all involved including the fish. As long as you don't lift the net into the fish and use it as a mini net pen instead the fish will relax allowing the angler and photographer the ability to "think it thru" so when it comes time for the pic it's a 1-2 second affair. Also a great way to give the fish a drink between shots. One real neat trick I learned from Bob was we once had a fish thrashing in the net. He covered the fishes eyes with his hat and the fish calmed right down. I've used that trick a few times since and it works real well.

and...................

3: If your a front seater and want a pic give your camera to the rower/driver AT THE BIGINNING OF THE DAY. I've really pissed off front seaters before when after the fish is safely netted they set their rod down, walk back up to the drifter, climb into the drifter and then start digging around a dry bag looking for a buried camera. I'll indulge them for about a minute (read net pen above) but any longer then that by the time they find their camera there is no longer a fish to take a pic of!

I'm sure I'll get a little grief for this one but I love the grip-n-grins and much prefer that the angler is looking at the camera. I think the recent trend of looking down at the fish just sort of looks gay smile
