Sooner or later us carp fishermen often find ourselves fishing alone without anyone to take a photo of our catches and we have to settle for an improvised photo.
Who says mat shots can't be cool in moderation? Sometimes they kind of break up the predictability of our regular "standard" poses when we present our catches.
You can keep the photos interesting by featuring a particular fish feature like the mouth, fin, scale pattern, etc. In this photo I featured the magnificent golden tail.
