FFS, couldn't you have cleaned it up and portrayed it a bit more

Naa... I wanted PETA to get a good look at it.

A lot of anglers will have been disgusted by that picture of a fine
fish, let alone PETA.


Yes, anglers, regardless of whether they ever eat fish or not, who have
never cleaned a fish on their own.
If the sight of fish blood is disgusting then you shouldn't be fishing at
all.

You miss my point as well. I'm not squeamish about blood. I kill and
clean all my fish because I don't believe in C&R. But was that supposed
to be a picture of a fine fish..? or a picture of the killing of a
fish..? I'd prefer fine fish to be portrayed in such a way that we can
see them at their best. Not upside down with a gaff in them and blood
all over the place.

If your point was simply that it wasn't a good photograph artistically, as
compared to a nice posed one displaying the fish
in it's full beauty and glory, I'd say you certainly didn't convey it very
well. At all in fact.
Have you ever been tuna fishing? Due to the characteristic of the fish and
the fact that the size calls for gaffing, it's always a
pretty bloody affair. The photo depicted a scene I've seen before and I
didn't find it "disgusting" at all.

Actually, I found it kind of disgusting because the gaff hook
obviously spoiled a sizeable amount of the fish's meat. Out of San
Diego, where I fish tuna, the skippers and crew pride themselves in
head-gaffing the fish so as not to mess up the meat. Here's an example
(a 30 lb class bluefin from several years ago)

(This is my first post -- I hope I get the attachment right.)

I thought I did. My original post was "FFS, couldn't you have cleaned
it up and portrayed it a bit more sensitively than that?" The response
"I wanted PETA to get a good look at it" was crass.

Have you ever been tuna fishing? Due to the characteristic of the fish and
the fact that the size calls for gaffing, it's always a
pretty bloody affair. The photo depicted a scene I've seen before and I

That's more like it - a picture which conveys the catching of a good
fish rather than just the bloody landing. And presumably the
head-gaffing kills the fish as well...
