How can I take better pictures of the fish I catch?

+6
−0

After reeling a fish in, sometimes I want to take a picture before I let it go. So I unhook the fish and hold it in one hand while I take the picture with my other.

I am usually in a hurry to get the fish back into the water quickly and its always kind of awkward to hold a slimy fish in one hand and a camera in the other.

Here is a photo that I took:

This is the fish photo I took

Are there techniques or tips for better photos under these types of conditions?

Are you usually fishing alone? I assume so, but wanted to check.

@Mattdm yes, normally I am

How do you define "better"? This seems to be a perfectly acceptable image of a fish...unless you're going for something else; what is that something else?

I would opt for a Styrofoam cooler box with a plastic ruler along one side if you want a scale.
