Fishing (keeping fish still)

[powell11]

Whenever i go fishing and catch one and land it, i try to get a picture with it but it always starts flapping around in my hand and i see other people holding them still, i hold at both ends of the fish but it just goes crazy, how do i stop it?

Thanks :)

Why do you want to photograph the fish? Is it to enable you to brag about it in the pub? Why don't you just lie about how big it was - not that size matters to us girls.

Maybe docspock will know the answer - he usually lurks in chatterbank.

Good grief, you mean the thing is actually flapping around gasping for air and dieing on you? How bloody inconsiderate of it!

are you wanting it to smile too ?

I generally put my thumb in it's mouth and hold it underneath. That sorts out your missus, what about the fish??

Nice fish doc. Haven't been coarse fishing for years . Still got my old tackle though. A couple of Mitchell reels & a CTM that could handle a 20lb carp.
