A donkey class Geet!!!!
As an artistic image, it's a lovely piece of living art.
Luke,
however, I think that it's nice to see a more in perspective shot just to see if the average forum member can honestly gauge the sizes of the fish that they may run into.
Unless you have worked on a vessel like Nomad, the average bloke would not be able to gauge weight without having the fish weighed, so yes, I think I can understand the "broken record" repetitive question of "where is the normal pic?".........we all want to have an understanding of the weight classes of fish we encounter and the photos posted on here are looked at hard and judging the weight/length is a primary motive for the images to be looked at so intensely. You need to rack up a heap of GT's to get OK at sizing them up and for a lot of forum members, it happens too infrequently. These images posted on here are part of a learning data base.
I understand that there is a great deal of Japanese anglers who prefer this style of wide image, though there are forum members trying to learn and appreciate these creatures from these images; well, I understand their point of view too.
Don't let it get ya down mate!
Awesome GT.........Awesome.
Cheers
Aaron.
