Why do you need photos?
because it's nice for the fishing picture book memories etc
Personally i would,nt go to the trouble ,and stress to the fish to photograph a net that big of carp,fish flapping about all over the option,must be difficult they,re not exactly all going to keep still and say cheese.....
8 carp tipped into a wet xl weigh sling thats on a big unhooking mat for a quick photo don't see the problem
but your not giving a reason why it's a problem the fish were cared for, it happens up and down the country every day in matches it's just your own personal opinion, typical keyboard warriors looking for an argument

Enjoy your photos, mate, I see nothing wrong with taking a shot of your catch at the end of the day.
Fish are fish, and that's it. I am all for taking care of them, but I don't see the need to pamper them to the extent that some anglers do.
I always get a smile out of the specimen carp boys, who lay their catch on a foam-filled, triple stitched, neoprene quilted unhooking mat, before caressing the fish and pouring water over it to refresh it. They then lovingly kneel beside the carp and, with careful hands, apply antiseptic lotion to the hookhold and all other seemingly damaged areas. Finally, they reverently cradle the carp in the margins with more affection than most of them have ever shown to their wives or girlfriends, taking care to support its weight before it has the strength to swim away, sliding a fond hand down its flanks as it makes its way back into the lake...
Of course, these ecologically aware piscatorial casanovas don't realise that the carp is only in this position in the first place because they have wedged a razor-sharp hook in its mouth and dragged it around the lake with a poker-stiff rod for the preceding ten minutes...:wh
Keep it all in perspective, lads. They're only fish.
Post of the year!
