Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611	How the heck do you guys get your fish to sit still for the photos??? More often than not the fish flips just as I'm ready to pull the trigger...do you guys just wear them out completely or something? Beautiful, big fishies by the way! Well done as usual, Matt. Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2733	How the heck do you guys get your fish to sit still for the photos??? Well that happens too where they wriggle free and sometimes fall right back into the river. Remember Jon I am a trout whisperer and I just tell them to behave and they settle down for the photo op.
