Looks like any other reel; the fish looks like it needs more water.

I think it is one of those aurora usa made reel that has been discontinued.  Was just wondering how the action is.

The reel is a Rushton 425, decent quality for the price, fished it for over 7 yrs. never had an issue. The steelie was properly revived and sent on its way.

I think someone was biting their tongue that a, spent, wild fish was laying on but an inch or two of water.

The fish is worth more than a pic.

It is a Good pic but more worthy of a kept Hatch.

Some folks get excited about a pic in this digital age but the handling of fish, particularly wild, should be paramount.

I do believe the fish was handled with respect but I do know it could have been handled better.

Some folks (who do not post here) will start to think hey, I can drag a fish into the rocks and over the sand and as long as I release the wild ones it's OK.

NOT! That this was done here!

BUT, if a fish can pose, it's spent.

Besides being better for the fish, a pic like this is FAR MORE appealing. Look at all the detail that the water adds to the photo, it shows the fish in its element as well.

"if a fish can pose, its spent" this kinda commentary is exactly why this is the worst fish porn thread of the last couple years. Not that people are not taking photos they are just not posting them here to be scrutinized.

Not "the worst".  The worst are the threads full of photos of half dead wild fish that were very likely killed solely for the chance to post a pic to the thread. Now we only mostly see the legal dead fish and the wild fish in water pic like Rod's pic above (which I have always loved best, ED is another one good at those "in the water" shots).  I personally am not posting only because I am not catching (other than the odd small trout).  I for one am glad to see fewer photos if it means more wild fish released safely to spawn.

Huenut, you take, or at least, used to take awesome pics.

Also, It wasn't my intent to scrutinize as I'm sure the fish was revived and sent on It's merry way.

However, there tends to be a need to post any picture.
From in the sink shots to bloody battle pics and of course, poorly handled shots to show the world that someone actually caught a fish.

Fish Porn, in my humble opinion, should offer up a little art and composition.

As Rod and ED offer up on a regular basis

There's some great pics in this thread and then there's photos.
