We see so many images of anglers holding their latest specimen catch in the media . The perch dorsal is usually highlighted by a finger tucked in behind the fin.
Other species seem to lower the dorsal fin when posing for a picture.
A big roach with it's dorsal erect looks 10 times better than with the dorsal laying flat on it's back, same goes for barbel, crucians etc.
OK I know we all want to return them as quickly as possible without fannying about with cameras .
Is there a way, or secret tickle on the anal fin or vent perhaps that hits the "dorsal erect" nerve in time for a photo?
