I'd bet that anyone who fishes has had this happen to them. You hook a fish, maybe a big fish. You want a lasting memory of the occasion and you get someone to take your photo. You reel the fish in and anticipate the snap of the shutter. A picture that you can show your buddies. You'll have something to show your family and friends. Proof! When you get it close you gently cradle the fish so not to hurt it and the fish is cooperating. It's so still and quiet. You smile and hold the fish up. You're thinking of the perfect photo and WAMO! The fish suddenly has other plans. It becomes a wiggling eel. A lively, slippery bar of soap. It jumps and tries to get free! If you're lucky you get a photo to show them back home.
I know it's better for the fish to get it back into the water as soon as possible, but we don't take photos of them all! In fact we take very few photos and try to be selective. And we make sure to revive them before setting them free.
