Angler Catches Two 14-Pound Largemouth Bass in One Day on O.H. Ivie Lake (https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/angler-catches-two-14-pound-largemouth-bass-in-one-day-on-o-h-ivie-lake/)

So what is it with everyone who catches a big fish thinks they need to make it look bigger by holding their arms way out? :confused:
If you catch a REALLY big fish, hold that sucker right next to your chest so we can all SEE how really big it is. :doah:
Any fool can make a 4 lb bass look like a wall-hanger with the right camera angle. :angel:

2nd that....

Gotta make sure to hide your fingers to make it look bigger

Guides need 'em big to drum up business. I understand kids getting their fish photo'd, I think most times adults look stupid. Kind of like scoring a touchdown and doing a idiot dance, look like you've been there before.

That walleye is almost as big as he is! :puke:
Angler Catches Massive 16-Pound Walleye While Ice Fishing on Lake Ontario (https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/ice-fishing-walleye/)
Ed Green's catch is one of the biggest walleyes ever landed by an ice angler in the region

I also ran into this great tip from GrandpaTom today. :)
I may have to try this and I'm sure a few others might do it too.

Huge Louisiana Largemouth Is One of the Top 10 Biggest Bass Ever Recorded in the State OutdoorLife.com (https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/huge-louisiana-bass/)
The big bass weighed more than 15 pounds and was just shy of the state record
(https://www.outdoorlife.com/uploads/2023/03/01/louisiana_top_ten_bass_edited.jpg?auto=webp&width=785&height=588.75)
If you compare the size of the fish to the guy, you'd think the fish weighed 40 pounds!

I wonder if Ed Green is related to Red Green? :scratch:

I realize calling out these hero pics is a case I'm not going to win.
Fishermen have been doing this since the invention of the camera, and my opinion ain't goona affect one of them. :banghead:
So God bless 'em for catching big fish. :fishing: Maybe one day I'll have a pic worth publishing in a magazine. (But I hope GT gets one first. ;) )
