At least you're giving it a try, Andrew, and if at first you don't succeed...
The main difference to what you tried is that I use an infra red remote with a 2 second delay - I wish that was 10 seconds too - but at least I am already in position. It might have been worth resting the bream back in the water in the landing net whilst you checked the result then perhaps had another go. Some fish are easier than others. Big ones are difficult as it takes longer to pick them up and hold them properly.
Keep trying!
