Photo posting.

I'm certainly no expert on the topic, but I have been able to post photos on occasion.

The key to the whole operation is that you need to find a "host" on the internet where you can store the photo. Most internet providers will allow you to have storage space on their system - at least enough to store some pics. Other options are websites that are specifically designed to store images (I think imagehost is a popular one).

After the image is stored online, then you can use the options and buttons provided by the forum software. As I type this, there is an "Img" button available near the top of the page. If I click this button, then the software provides the correct formatting for the picture post. Then you just cut and paste the address of the location where the pics are located online.

It's just that simple. Bwahahahahaha. Seriously, once you do it for the first time, the rest is a piece of cake.

Its easy.

You will need to use Photobucket online free photo hosting or one of the others. The nice thing about posting to online shares is that you can makes albums then link to those images all over the web by just inserting a link to the album of photos.

Each album will have its own link to keep events etc seperated so your shooting pics don't wind up being viewed with others that have no place in the album like this one.

With Photobucket it creates several ways to copy the link depending on your use. Mail the link to friends for all to see or just post the link to the album in the post here and others can then go view it themselves.

Let me know if your having issues I will try to help. Remember to that most image hosts limit the size of the image to around 900x600 pixels of limited size in kb so large images must be resized and saved smaller. You can even post videos to many of these sites.

I don't think those fishes are real.

They are too perfect and the eyes of the fish on the left don't seem to be in the same spot as the fish on the right.

Granted in the real world they are normally not equal in size one would always be slightly bigger than the other, but...

And the shading near the tail looks like they were blended in ....

Still all in all, I think Bob is correct they are a nice pair.

What bait did you use?

Funny I was just thinking "what fish are these guys talking about" myself.
At the risk of going behind the berm, I'd Imagine that that there's a gal that can handle a worm.
