My apologies. It wasn't clear to me that you were catching and releasing. I should have asked that first.
How can I take a good picture of a fish if I can't take it out of the water?
Hi K.andrews. I agree this is not the ideal kind of pictures for Noah, but for most of the people this is the only way of showing and learning fish species. Unfortunately very few people have underwater cameras.
I thought trophy animals were against PN policies.
