Here's a little scenario for you: You're out fishing with your buddy when he hooks into a trophy. It's a BIG fish and after a long fight, the two of you finally land the monster. You're both incredibly excited and very happy to have witnessed such an epic moment. Then you realize that you forget your camera, and of course, your friend doesn't have one either. There are going to be no pictures of the monster on this day. This scenario sucks, I've been through it. You're left with nothing but a great fish story. This is of course assuming that you fish like me, and release fish after you catch them.
If you are a catch and release angler, a camera is a pretty important thing. Technology has made it that much easier for all of us to have a quality camera with us at all times. And no I'm not talking about you camera phone. Those cameras aren't worth the price of admission. I am talking about digital cameras though. Digital cameras have become very affordable and the quality picture they produce is quite amazing. Digital cameras have become small enough that they can fit in most pockets on a fishing vest as well. If you do decide to go with a digital camera, either buy a water resistant one or make sure you store it in a Ziploc bag. We don't want your camera getting ruined if you have an accident.
Another option, which I've used in the past, is to carry a disposable camera with you. I used to carry a waterproof disposable camera in my fishing vest that is before I got my digital camera. The disposable camera worked fine and is still a viable and less expensive option. The only issue that I ever had with my disposable waterproof camera is that it was quite bulky. It almost took up an entire pocket in my fishing vest by itself. The digital camera I have now is very small and I don't even realize it's there.
The bottom line is that you remember your camera on your next fishing trip. Especially if you're a catch and release angler, as I am. It makes no difference whether you have a digital or disposable camera, just don't forget the camera. You never know when you might run into something on the water that you'd like to capture. I've seen sun rises and sunsets that bring a tear to my eye, and I'm glad IU had a camera with my to capture the essence of them.
