Specialty Shark List Requirements
« on: February 27, 2017, 10:23:51 AM »
Where's My Beer brought up a good point that I think will be installed from this day (2/27/17) on... 

Some type of picture of the shark needs to be taken on the day it is caught to count on the Shark List.  It would just take an extra second for a picture and force the angler to be properly prepared for getting updated on the leader board list.  Everything from before this date will remain as documented, but everything moving forward from this date needs to be verified with a simple picture taken of the exact shark caught on the date as stated in your post. (No Stock Photos Sasquatch)

Also, From this day forward, only sharks caught that are posted to the forum are eligible to be added.  I've added one previous that was posted on the Prehistoric Soul FaceBook page, but will no longer be be the case from this date on.  Only P-Soul community posts will count.

I think this is fair for all members and should result in more posts for us to enjoy.

I don't doubt Ron one bit. I think it will keep some other guys honest and bring more fish porn to the forum. 🤘

If your solo...

Bring a tripod and set it up before hand.

Catch a shark.

Slap your camera on the tripod.

Take a self timer shot.

Release your shark.

Done.

2 issues for me with a tripod setup.

1)   I don't really need anymore stuff to drag down to the beach. I'm already pretty loaded down.

2)   Rarely does a shark come to beach in close proximity to my rods. Therefore it would take even more time to reset the camera and tripod for a shot.

Maybe a selfie stick and my old iPhone 4+ can work.

All you gotta do is clip it to your back pack.

The whole process won't take any longer than grabbing your phone and selfie stick.

You will get a better photo too

LOL

I'm 5'7" 285lbs 45 years old with bad knees. I already hoof two 12 foot rods, two rod holders, folding backpack chair, regular backpack with waders and jacket, bait cooler and tackle bag.  Adding a tripod would be literally the straw that breaks the camels back. And before you say it, most of the beaches I fish, a beach cart wont work getting down rocks or steep banks.

Next, you'll have me hauling down another tripod with a studio flash and a studio backdrop to wipe out the background.

 :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

More power to you, Ill settle for my mediocre photos
