Photographing Your Lunker

Photographs will provide the perfect record of your catch. Lunker fish are rare and a good picture will preserve the memory. Have a fishing partner take several photos in case some don't turn out. You won't want to keep the fish out of the water for more than a minute or so if you're going to release it, so shoot fast. Look at the fish as well as the photographer and hold the fish up and away from you so that both fish and angler are in the shots. Wipe away any blood and dirt from the lunker, let the bait it was taken on hang visibly from its mouth and avoid a cluttered background.
