You many not think about it all the time, but camera's and fishing go together like peas and carrots. It's always a good idea to have a camera with you while fishing. You just never know when a trophy is going to be landed, and you have to have something for proof, right? Unless you happen to be one of those people who can paint a picture with words, having a camera on your fishing trips is a good idea.

The way technology has advanced in the past 10 or so years, there is no reason that you can't have an inexpensive digital camera with you each and every time you go fishing. Many people think because the word 'digital' is involved it has to be expensive, but this isn't at all the case. Digital cameras have actually become quite affordable, with some styles being less than twenty bucks! Now for $20 doesn't it make sense to at least give one a try? There are obviously more expensive variations available, but my point is that a digital camera doesn't have to break the bank.

A traditional camera can be taken with you on your fishing trip as well, the point is that you need a camera of some kind. If you don't want to spend the extra money for a waterproof camera (they can be a bit more expensive), simply put your camera on a Ziploc freezer bag for protection from any water. You just never know when God might put his hand down and trip you up, causing you to take a tumble into the very water that you intend to fish!

My point to this article is simply to remind you that a camera should always be taken with you while fishing. If you're anything like me and practice catch and release fishing, having pictures of the large fish you catch is nice for the old memory bank. Not to mention the fact that you never know when you might see something that simply has to be captured on film. Can you say Sasquatch?
