Default WHy do bass look so small

When I'm photoed with them ?

I got a 3 3/4 lb spot today (actually weighed it) I had someone photo me
holding it, and dang it looks like it might go 1 lb.

I can post the photo, but man it looks small, not good enough for this group

Worst than that today, my wife wanted fish tonight for supper, ok I'll
keep a few 1 to 2 lb bass, just enough for supper. I fished from just
one spot on the bank, first fish 1 1/2 spot,, in my rusty old fish
basket it went, next fish was the 3 3/4, I threw it back, next fish was
a 1 lb 14 OZ spot, I went to put it in the basket,, the first fish was
gone, examined the basket, and the bottom was messed up,, Ok must keep
bottom of basket on the bottom of the lake to hold the fish, no problem.

I then put 3 more 1 to 2 pound spots in the basket , being very careful,
I had plenty for supper.

Game warden shows up, (I tell him to be careful or the bass will escape)
he lifts the basket to see my catch, two bass escape, no a single word
of apology for letting my fish go from him,, now what makes it worst, 10
min. later his partner shows up and lifts the basket, and another one
escapes, so I have one bass for supper, made me madder than heck, I
switched lures and caught 6 "good" bream in 15 min., then went home, at
least we had fresh fish for supper :-)
