"ROPE'S" BASS FISHING TIPS
Well you caught a trophy bass!
You want to get a picture of this fish and you want to make sure it looks good. If it is early morning or late afternoon the sun is low, the best thing you can do is to make sure the sun is on your face (you are looking into the sun). This will make sure that there is plenty of light on you and your fish. And if you are wearing your polarized sunglasses you will not be squinting, just before the picture is taken quickly remove your sunglasses (the picture will look better if the viewers can see your eyes, you can look into the direction of the sun, but don't look directly at the sun for the few seconds that it takes to get a few pictures).
If the sun is high make sure that your flash is on and working, if necessary override the auto on your camera to force the flash to work in daylight. This will prevent your face from being dark because of the shadow from the bill of your hat.
