Okay, work with me now. Just relax, take a deep breath, and count to ten.

Granted, this seemed like a much better idea in my mind than it actually turned out. Three or four months ago I had a day where I caught fish in about six or seven pound groups, but unfortunately I did not take a single picture. Afterwards, the idea of showing one to ten pictured on a scale came to me. No problem, right? I do it all the time. It turned out to take longer than I anticipated. As you might suspect, one through four came the first day, multiple sixes, and then the nine. I even caught a few fish over ten. I could have done a one to ten of just catfish(actually one to thirteen.) Along the way I got lazy and passed up some opportunities to upgrade the quality of some of the shots. Number eight was the last to come only because I was saving the spot for a bass. I finally got tired of the whole project and decided to put a catfish in there like I could have done weeks ago. I got it the very next trip, but even that one turned out to almost be a nine.
I learned a few things. First of all, to have done this right my arm needed to be about a foot longer(I already wear 36-inch sleeves). Also, hanging a fish from a scale is not the most flattering way to show it off. All credit, or perhaps more appropriately the blame, is entirely mine. I caught and photographed all the fish while fishing alone. All were safely released.
Edit: Typo in the title, but no way to edit that apparently.
