PHOTOGRAPHING FISH
Paddle tail species (Barramundi/Jewfish) measure from the head of measuring board to end of tail.
Fork tail species (Salmon) measure from the head of the measuring board to the centre of the tail.
PLEASE SEE PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF SHEET
NOTE: the fish head must be in contact with the end of the measuring board and the mouth closed.
Photographs must be taken from directly above the fishes head and showing the whole fish on the
board in the one photograph. The competition ID card must be clearly visible in the photograph. Failure
to photograph fish to requirements will likely make that capture disallowed.
HINTS FOR BETTER PHOTOS
Place the whole fish in a sunny position – not half in sun & half in shade. Ensure the angle of the shot
has no bright reflections from the fish.
