I want to know how you had the camera SO readily available!!! No telling how many great (though some sad) shots are missed by not being prepared like that. When I ocean fished (Pacific), I caught 'countless' HUGE Ling Cod, which we called "Hitch-Hikers" that had chomped into smaller cod(s) called a Red Snapper or China Cod. No camera ready, but we always had the gaff ready. Simply gaff and land the Ling before his head broke out of the water. A "2 fer 1" sale! \:\) Very common out there on the big pond.
