joeD Posted November 9, 2016 Author Posted November 9, 2016 It was a great fish for me. Long armed it to make it look bigger. As if.
Chief Grey Bear Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 It doesn't bother me a lick. I don't think it makes them look any bigger. That bottom pic I don't even consider long arming. But some do.

Flysmallie Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I like the long arm shots way better than not. Why? Simple. It makes a better picture. It makes the fish the focal point and just creates a much nicer image. If people feel intimidated by the long arm then maybe they need to change their pad. Smalliebigs and MOsmallies 2
snagged in outlet 3 Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I agree Flysmallie. My son and I play with different camera angles, log arms and lighting. Makes a huge difference. But I do like to dog Joe for some reason. Just like I do with the Cubs I guess.

Why make a good fish look bad by not getting the best possible picture of it. Hold it out, get a good angle and the best lighting possible so you can truly appreciate the fish afterwards. I am strictly catch and release so the photos of my big fish are like trophies. They help me re-live those great moments. That being said, I hate when people hold a fish out and then claim the fish is bigger than it actually was. As long as you are honest about the size of the fish, make it look as good as possible even if that means you have to long arm it a little I don't know how anyone can say the first pic doesn't look better than the second pic...
