Well, I've taken so much grief for supposedly "emphasizing" the size of my fish because I hold my arms out a little when the photo is taken. In this thread I'd like to encourage everybody to take at least one fish picture of themselves using my "technique". Let's start with Mr. Shorty with one of his smallies!

Excellent, DIED! Here's my own personal favorite. I will be thinking up prizes for the best three entries.

Not as good as Master Condello, but I did the best I could. My arms were too short.
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

Do you think the "Condello Technique" could have helped this picture?

Wow, Bruce! Your FPPT really works! I just held this BG way out in front with my arms and it looks huge, albeit a little limp.

That is hilarious Theo My wife often asks while I'm viewing threads..."what are you laughing at?" I always say...it's just the PB guys, they are really good people. Then, she asks why? And I never have an answer, just a cheezy grin!

Here's one a customer didn't have to use the Condello technique. It's 55 inches. Notice how small the fins are for the body size. Detroit River, Michigan.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I couldn't possibly compete on photographic ability, nor with a big fish like Theo's -- so I had to resort to getting a beautiful blond to help.

Bruce -- I heard from an "informed" source that your common carp in that picture would have been a state record?

Bruce -- I heard from an "informed" source that your common carp in that picture would have been a state record? With that length, and assumed Wr's it could have been in the neighborhood of our state record. I would have gotten so much grief from friends that I'd have never turned it in.

Do you think the "Condello Technique" could have helped this picture? The "Condello rules" state, that if you catch a small fish you're supposed to hold it further away from the camera. This photo is disqualified.

I caught that bass on an in-line spinner almost as big as he was. I'm not sure what he was thinking.

As I've said before, n8ly, your subjects are really using the Cheyenne method of FPPT which has the signature effect of an eye to eye relationship.
As far as the snapping turtle, I assume you are wearing a steel-mesh jock-strap?
