I usually can't be bothered to take a picture if I'm fishing by myself. A self-shot picture of a fish laying in the bottom of the boat or something, especially at night, just isn't worth the hassle. The picture rarely turns out well, it's rough on the fish, and I'm not out to prove anything to anybody anyway.
If I'm fishing with somebody else, I'll gladly have them take a picture. I'm lucky enough that a few of the people I fish with are extremely gifted photographers, which helps. I'm certainly not.
Sometimes if there's someone nearby and I catch a fish that's exceptional, I'll wave them over and ask them to take a picture (assuming I have a camera), though more often than not the results from a stranger wind up sucking.
Still, I would have liked to had a picture of the big largemouth but it was about 9:30 at night and there wasn't a soul around but me.
