As you can see by my report yesterday we had a decent day on the lake for a couple of hours. The most important thing about yesterday was the little things I taught my daughter on becoming a real fisher(wo)man. How to take pictures correctly.

1. Hold the fish as far away from your body as possible when taking the pic. This can turn a 3/4 pound, 10" fish into a 2+ pound 17" fish.
2. Take your pic from a low angle. This provides the godzilla effect.
3. Cut part of the fish off in the pic. This gives the impression the fish is so large it wouldn't fit in the frame.
4. Change the lure you actually caught it with so you don't give away any additional intel.
5. Most importantly, never take a pic with any notable landmarks in the background. Don't want to give away any secret holes.

I've only heard of others doing this and would never happen aboard my boat.

Next weeks lesson will be about the "fish stretcher". Not only to meet legal length requirements but for better chat board postings.

Great times on the water.
