A great fish pic depicts the life-force of the fish.... the sheen from its skin and scales, capturing its vibrant yet sometimes subtle color detail before it becomes dull and lifeless. Fins erect, gill plates flared, eyeball rolled down, no blood except perhaps for a dribble from the hook site.... these attributes all help to convey a magnificent living creature. Zoom in to capture the details of a perfect headshot. Water and a little greenery in the background is a perfect complement to chrome. A human face need not always be present... it's a fish pic, remember. The coho in winterun's avatar is a stunning example of a great fish pic IMHO.

you know fshnphysn... you are absolutely 100% correct! That photo will get you in the magazines anytime. But, The best fishing photos are the ones with the big smiles and the memories that last a lifetime...

Having a digital makes it much easier. You can look through the view finder and see whats a good photo before you take it. If your using a digital no is no excuse for bad fish pics. heres a few Id call good fish pics. [img] http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/uploads/UP2137[/img]

Dan S and Rich
WOW! Gorgeous wild hen, boys! Platinum bright, every scale visible, and translucent fins all intact. That fish is exuding life... looks ready to jump out of your hands and onto my desk. Natural background also helps to tell the story of what conditions were like on that day. Great picture!

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

FishN,
I agree with you about Rich's fish........so flawless, so chrome.
Hey, you're killin' me Rich.
If THAT photo doesn't gear you up to go catch some fish, you'd better check your pulse.

Dan,
I am dyin to catch some steel. I will be out to Forks for Christmas and Im im still east I might head to the snake of clearwater soon if some one will show me the ropes.
That fish came from the Clawah last year in mid January. That was the only fish we got about half way through the drift.
We had five boats that were ahead of us, one of them being Bob. And atleast his boat cooned em.

Rich, I feel for you. man. A Forks guy on the eastside is like a fish out of water. I'd sure like to hook up with you for a day fishing around Forks. If you're interested, drop me an email when you're in town for the holidays and maybe we can get out for a day. Have a great holiday.......hopefully you can get a line wet around your old stomping grounds soon.

Rule #1. Get close. I mean closer. Rule #2. Use the rule of thirds. Do not bullseye the subject. Have the fish or fisherman, or both, lined up somewhere along any third of the photo, either vertcally or horizontally. Rule #3. Use fill flash. It will show off the scales and fill in the shadows. Rule #4. Try to include some diagonal lines. The shoreline, trees, dock boards, or even the flow of the objects in the photo. Rule #5. Don't post something controversial on the internet. You will get flamed. Example? How about this wild silver we caught at Sekiu this year, hooked in the gills and it bled out after a long fight on light line attached to a SpongeBob Squarepants rod. Just kidding, it was a nice humpy and we had 30lb power pro on the SpongeBob rod. I think this photo shows a number of them, even though the fish is dead.
