How many times have you been out fishing for bass on your favorite lake or stream, caught a great largemouth or smallmouth and just wished you had a picture when talking about it later.
Ok, part of the reason may be to ward off your friend’s comments about fishing tales and fishermen being truth-twisters but the real reason is to save the memory …
(Especially these days with the threat of Alzheimer’s lingering in the distance!) 
In today’s modern digital world there is hardly a reason why most of us shouldn’t be in a position to “snap the pic” to preserve our catch in digital form …
One reason is the camera feature present in most cell phones today (though the images maybe marginal) while another pertains to the affordability of decent digital cameras.
Here are a few key pointers to consider when thinking about camera and shooting options:
- Number of megapixels should be > 5 mega-pixels
- Cost (although I would argue today a decent digital can be had for $100)
- How to frame the picture (get close and avoid distractions in the photo frame!)
- Consider lighting and practice shot before taking actual photo
- Use the flash to offset the bright background typically found in the outdoors under sunny conditions
- Shoot images holding camera both horizontally and vertically …
Now you can be capturing the photos to save your own fishing memories …
