I took great care to handle the best fish of the night, a 16+ inch rainbow trout, very gently for a picture.  As usual, the fish slipped away before the photo.  Here's one snapped too early, while I fumbled with the trout in the net.  It's really there!  Honest! From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin.
