Another common used technique by anglers is to hold the fish out a long way in front of the body to give the appearance that the fish is larger in proportion to the angler than is really the case, this technique works well
i have caught a couple babies like the recently i was wondering what posesses them to attack a lure thats their size
the other day i cast a large shiner out it got hooked on a stump when i got it unhooked and reeled in i found i had a fish i thought it was the shiner but a bass about its size had managed to trade places with it somehow
