Fishing Photography Has Never Been So Fun

It’s always fun to bring home a photograph of your trophy fish or significant catch from your trip here in Florida.
During your fishing excursion, you’d better bring a camera to record the day’s events. More often than not you’ll be capturing a great win whether it’s that monster fish or bucket loads of quality fillets for table fare.
Marinas often have a “Catch Board” or “Kill Board” to showcase charter fishing catches before they hit the cleaning table. It’s become so popular now to “catch and release” fish that anglers bring a camera, weighing scale and or measuring tool so they can get a mount from the taxidermist. Your quality photograph during the heat of the moment is always better than a dead fish picture on the cleaning table.

“Digital photography has revolutionized your ability to show off your catches,” says Captain Richard… “Many of you on the boat take photos of your fish and immediately send to friends and family to share the experience and show them what they missed.
Often, this is your way to ‘rub it in’ showing those who missed out on a great fishing trip because they opted to stay home or back at the hotel.
It’s a hoot! I think the iPhone makes things like this even better and has already brought in live video to the picture.”
Nowadays taking a photograph and displaying it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat is the popular thing to do too, but getting a fish mount done and a photograph of you holding your catch is always the best way to keep the moment immortal in photos and plastic.
