Note about fish pictures

We take a lot of pictures of the fish we catch.

Like this

We are very careful with the fish and try not to traumatize them too much. Our process is: catch the fish, reel it into a net ( which keeps them contained and mostly calm), then keeping the fish in the water - get the camera ready, when the camera is ready, dip into the net and pick up the fish, snap, snap and put the fish back in the water.

The time that the fish is in picture format is about 5 sec or less.

Since we prefer not to kill them, our ethic is to return them to the water with minimal harm. We always release the fish, but only after we know that they are recovered from any trauma.
