Those are some great fish, Im sure you worked your tail off to get them on a fly.

I'd only suggest that you be cautious about putting them on a dry boat floor.  Their bellies and internal organs are soft, and they have a HIGH mortality rate when they are allowed to thrash until exhaustion.  I use a large Frabill Conservation net, keep em in the water for unhooking, then raise them for a quick photo...even then, they often take a while to revive.  If I have waders on, I always go to the bank to deal with them in the net.
For solo shots, a quick auto timer works for the 10 s it takes to raise up the fish...Targus makes a cheap small tripod at Walmart, that you can set up, when you don't have a buddy to take the shot.

Not trying to be negative here, Im just passionate about catching these fish.  Good luck this season.

Great stuff, man! The fall bite is definitely on! I've tangled with those things a time or two by myself. It can be a challenge, for sure. TWiles has a good point, though, about them being sensitive. Now go get some more for your next photo dump! Thanks for sharing.
