 Here is my submission for the best way to hold a fish. This way one's face does not ruin the asthetics of nature's beauty on a stream...

ahhh.... the bandito http://www.midcurrent.com/articles/gear/matthews_phototips.aspx cool article... some more of my favorites... I like to see the fish head on with the fly still in the suck   Or with the dude in the shot Still trying to get that perfect lick shot... but he turns his head and wouldn't be caught dead with my dinks  the grip and grins get boring I think it makes it fun the vary the shot or the focus (the rod is under the chin)

You just put all kinds of "shot thoughts" in my head. Never thought about the "grin and shoot", and your right. Can't wait to start putting some creativity into my shots. Thanks!

I don't think the last one is photoshopped, but there is something fake about it and I just can't put my fingers on them.

HOLD THE FISH JUST LIKE THAT OVER THE WATER, THEN SQUEEZE WITH THE HAND NEAR IT'S HEAD AND SLIDE YOUR HAND TOWARDS THE TAIL. THAT WAY IF THE FISH HAS LOOSE EGGS, YOU CAN CHUM THE HOLE BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE FISH. GLEN
