Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Was just glancing through the Photo galleries and couldn't help but notice that my 12 pound walleye looks awful small compared to other guys 12 pounders. Now, it's hard to make anything look big when posed in front of my mass and I know it. But, I mean the one looks like it weighs one hundred and 12 pounds versus just 12 pounds. And I won't make the same mistake here I did with the drag setting post, and say one way to take a picture of a fish is Wrong and another Right. But both the fish and it's true size looses it's perspective when even your hands in the picture looks like a first basemans mit. I can see the reason to hold a smaller fish a little closer to the camera, but not a true trophy. What do you guys think? Looks funny or a non-issue?
Lifes to short, The days to long, When both are spent fishing, You can’t go wrong.

Location: Upper Sandusky Ohio | I share your pain brother. As little guy myself 6"4" and 250lbs.a big fish looks little when held up against my body. You put the same fish beside my partner who's maybe 5'8" and 160 and it looks twice as big as it did when I held it. |

Location: Rhinelander | I have never caught an 'on purpose' 'eye bigger than JUST 10#, so have not had much of a problem with pictures. I'm an average size person, but big fish still have a way of looking small if the person behind the camera doesn't know how to get a good perspective. |

Don't feel bad, I only caught 3 muskies in my life and the biggest was by mistake.
