Location: Minnetonka | Bagged my first 50" on Saturday around noon. I was fishing solo and the pictures are stills taken from a GoPro, which allowed me to have her out of the water for a very short period of time, while still getting quality shots. Though it looks like I was dancing with the fish, the third is a recovery from a massive tail kick!

Location: oswego, il | When I finally hook a 50 I will roll my beachball frame over to the rod and hit the button to reel it in with an electric motor. I try to keep a clear path so I dont knock over and crush any food or knock drinks out of the various cup holders about the boat. I have a net on a motorized track for the net job. I wear a special shirt to lay the fish across my enormous belly for a photo that does not soak up slime. I will from there roll over and get the fish into the water.
I don't own a gopro I will have to check on how wide the lens is. I need a 35mm with a full frame sensor just to capture myself in the photo.
Congrats on your first 50!

I think there's less choreography in a kung fu movie fight scene. |

Here's the edited video that I pulled the stills from...
