Water was low but found this guy in a nice sized hole. Biggest one I've caught in NJ.

Nice fish. Ease up on your grip next time.

Simms taught him how to hold trout I guess....

Very good picture.

The problem with trout is that they move too much and often pictures turn out blurry.

Nice job keeping that guy still for the camera.

Yeah, tough to take the photo when your out there solo, I read that piece on grip after the fact, I think I'm low enough on the body but I agree, a bit tight.

Get a good rubber net......leave the fish in the net, in the water, and take a picture, have forceps, remove the hook, wet your hand, pick up the fish gently face it into the current, submerge it...sometimes at this point I will grab the tail of the fish and wait until it kicks free, or just hold the belly side loosely until it swims away under its own power....
For example............I watched this fish sit in a hole in front of me after I caught it......it took about 45 minutes before it started to feed again......it was pretty cool, like it forgot about being caught...

Oh...and welcome to NEFF!!!

I appreciate some advice but the lengths that you take to not disturb the fish are unreasonable and unnecessary. Plus the picture isn't good. Your also making a lot of assumptions that come across as condescending; no net, no forceps? If you chose not to dispense your advice in a directive manner it may help you.

DSLR cameras feature remote control. You can set the camera up on a gorillapod, like on a good, flat-topped boulder, while you keep the trout in the water, enclosed in the rubber net. Then you can get a solo shot just as if someone else shot you with the fish. I bought my remote online for less than 4 bucks, including shipment. Maybe some point and shoots have this feature too, I don't know.

All that technology and expense for a clear picture of a trout, when a proper fish grip will do the job?

Is it really that important?

No that's crazy, I work in the photo industry and wouldn't even do that. I can still get a great shot with my phone and just put the net under the fish and loosen the grip a bit if he jumps out he'll just land in the net. Problem solved.

I squeeze trout so hard here in AK, they spit eggs up.
