I have been trying to do life-sized photo 'mounts' of any picture-worthy fish I catch. They don't necessarily need to be giants but more likely just a good lookin fish.

I would like to see what shots other fisherfolk have been taking that show off the fish from head to tail.

Also any tips or discussion on handling the fish would be interesting.

It is -15 and I had to cancel my fishing plans for this weekend so this will have to suffice.

Here are a couple to get us started:

A small but colorful laker.

...and a grayling that doesn't quite "work".

Very nice pictures, drewhh...

I have dreamed of fishing for grayling for years... Perhaps in my next life.

Thanks for sharing them.

Nice shots,
I would use a polarizer to limit the possibility of glare issues.
