LOLfish cLOLaught on SILVERADO weighed at sea then chopped up by visiting anglers, they never heard of tipper and didnt realise like many visiting anglers that catch massive kingfish in NZ waters that fishing.net is the centre of the fishing universe! at least tipper will post up some of the pics of all the 30lb snapper he gets under the harbour bridge soon?

The points you raise are...while I guess valid for the greater masses, not applicable to me coz I am a superhero and just so strong it is almost unbelievable. Nah nah, honest! :-)
Yes, I know holding up a big fish is hard and  leaning and swinging on it is easier, but there is that, the there is taking it to just a little bit of an extreme.... or are we really looking atan 8ft long bass in that pic? :-)
I'm not knocking wide angle lenses, small boats you need them of course. But... look at the pics above of the kings... the top king, the dude is definitely holding it well out to the camera as well as leaning his head back. The next set down, the guy in the red top has swung the head around towards to camera as well....you can see from his stance that his left arm is fully extended.
Hey, I ain't knocking the fish, they are horses, it is just when you tend to look at pics with a bit of a jaded eye, you start seeing a few too many of these little "cheats" for the camera. Good fish like these really do not need such treatment!
I mean hell, I wish I could get some beasts like those, but still.....

Nice fish, I just hate the way those guys hold their fish for photos... by leaning back so outrageously and shoving the fish towards the lens so much makes the fish look bigger, sure, but it also makes them look so fake.... the old rules with fishing pics are... no blood, and if you cant see the elbows, it is a fake pic.
If they had held those fish closer to their bodies, the whole thing would look more natural and therefore more believable, and I have to say, more admirable.
Hell, hold it close enough to a wide angle lens and lean backwards away from the fish enough, even a frikken mackeral could look like a monster.
