I haven't seen that kind of thing on the Jax forum. If the board you're posting on is giving you guff for holding a big fish the wrong way, tell em' to "go pound" and find a new board. Don't let that stop you from getting a nice photo of a trophy fish.

Hey Vinny,
Let me clarify.I did not say they were my posts getting bashed. I read many posts on other forums that I am a member of. And you are right, I have not seen it much on this forum.
Here is a Nice 31" Trout from last year around Sept. that I did not want to post because I laid her on the ground for a pic. I quickly released her after the pic.
I do not post pics of all the fish I catch and I don't take pictures of all of them either. As I said earlier, I recognize the importance of letting the big spawners go back to make babies.
After re-examining this photo, maybe I did not post it because I needed a pedicure on those toenails at the time! Geeezzz



This was a Trophy sized Trout for me anyway.

That is a TROPHY SIZED TROUT for anyone in here!!! Nice fish!!!

I figure you just get a quick picture....revive her...and get her back in the water.....in the least invasive way possible!!

Speaking of posts getting bashed, I gotta ask what's with the HAMMER in the pic!!

Couldn't resist that!! Oh for the summer trout, I almost forgot that is a nice trout!!

That trout is a Beast! Awesome, dude.

I believe the rubber mallet is Acme's new line of "Wile E Coyote Fillet Knives"

The mallet is for driving in my old pvc rod holders in the ground. It is much easier on the pvc than a metal driving implement. I have never gotten those fancy spiked rod holders. lol. This was a fishing from shore day.
