Barra photos help

[chewy01]

Hi all just chasing some ideas on photos of barra.re best position. my 12 yr old has trouble holding up his barra and the look on his face is not exactly joy. When he gets a good one we normally just lip grip it to to bank then take a pic in the water but its not always great. Any thoughts besides leaving him at home

get him to sit down and lay it across his legs and have him hold it in the mouth
or if your land based just get him to sit on a bucket and hold it with the body of the fish on his leggs.
thats the easyest i can come up with good luck young fella

thanks mate,
we have a few pics like that but he ended up getting a pect.fin in the leg when one went nuts. He cradles them ok up to about mid nineties but after that i think i might get him to balance them on the side of the poly.We try and get the lure out before puttong the fish in the boat so a quick pic on the side should be ok.The trouble is the pectoral and dorsal spine are so big on a decent barra it could cause a pretty bad injury.

Hi there, My Nanna had the same predicament, as she has a busted shoulder. We laid her barra, 105cm on the brag mat, then she sat real close to it with a huge grin on her face. Better for her and the fish, not to be holding it, as like you say the pec fin can cause alota hurt.
