Taking a picture with your fish on a tube

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]Sorry it took me awhile to "weigh in" on this one. Been fishin'. Been takin' pitchurs of my fish held at arm's length...again.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Ain't no really good solution. If you set up a tripod you will be hasslin' with it all the time you aren't taking pictures. No good. Also not good to try to shoot back at yourself. We have all seen those "Freddy Krueger" pics.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I thought I had it all figured out. I bought matching cameras...one for me and one for my fishng partner (wife). Result, we have tons of pics of her, but very few of me. She either leaves the camera home (on purpose) or won't stop fishing long enough to capture a "photo op". Even when I beg, threaten or barter, it is tough to get her to put down her rod and pick up her camera...or to use mine.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I thought it might be easier to hire a good looking young lady to ride along in my tube and then get out and shoot the pics when necessary. Bad idea. Slashed tubes don't float and it is tough to cast with broken arms...or see out of swollen eyes. Yessir, photography can be a dangerous business.[/#0000ff]
