Evidence (fish pics)

[GCD]

I've noticed that quite a few folks on this board like to post reports about catching good quanties of fish but don't post any pics of them.

I've also noticed that they like to reply to other folks reports and claim they caught good #'s of fish... but again, no pics.

We all know how fishermen like to stretch the truth, and a report or statement about how many you caught is just an ol' fish story without pics... to me anyway. Pics make a fishin' report so much more believeable.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

On other sites, fish pics are referred to as "Fish Porn".:D ... and I really love the fish porn. I like to look at pics of fish that other folks caught, and I like to take pics of the fish I catch too and show them to other folks. I save all of my fish pics so I can review then every once in a while and they bring back great memories!!!

I consider my camera as part of my fishing gear!... and won't leave home without it!!!

Well, I love to see the pics as much as anyone else but I can't stand the term "porn" as referred to fishing and fish. It just sounds lame as if a picture of fish and fishing isn't good enough, it has to have a sexual connotation to it.


1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement
3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction <the pornography of violence>

If you can catch fish it aint bragging. Believe what you want.

I agree with the whole take a picture of them thing.If I don't get any pictures it's more like "I caught a few" and that's about it.With the pictures though,it's like telling a story,a lot more exciting.I understand where you are coming from azfisherdude,about the porn and all,with little kids,you have to keep your mind in a straight and narrow about it.These are a bunch of guys that are all really excited about fishing,talking to a bunch of other guys about fishing,it seems to get exciting for everybody,and things get "said",lol.
