I'm usually the one taking photos as I always try and let the guests catch fish. Set hook, hand off rod! Finding fish, putting a plan in action, and getting them to bite is what I like about it. After that, I could care less who catches it. As I said before, I get to do it anytime I want.

I have the same, but in a different color. I will be getting the gloves next as well. Northwoods had HUK Shirts, and I should have bought one, but didn't want to spend that much $ at that time.

Also, remember we discussed the "Fish Finger" or rash when handling fish, @ Crappie Camp? The persons hands dry out, crack. peel, and have some sort of reaction to fish? I bought a Lindy Fish Handling Glove. I used it day 1, handled 12 fish total, and was fine. Used it Day 2, in the AM, and was fine. Forgot it Day 2 evening, and handled 4 fish without the glove, and my hand was having a reaction (I was going to say it was burning, but that opens the door for a Becky Joke). Used it the rest of the weekend, and my hand is still recovering, but no where near as bad as in the past.

Also doubles as a protector from fillet knife, and keeps from getting hooks in the hand as well.
