Got a new budget reel and pair it up with a custom rod from Trickey Sticks and went to the local river for a test run. Clapped few good ones on molting craw jig from attitude lure .

Please don’t do this. Fish are hardy but dragging a fish through the dry grass for a photo op isn’t as cool as reddit makes it seem like.
Get a chest mounted camera so you can handle the fish with some respect/dignity and still get the shot. You should be aiming to have the fish out of water for 30 secs or less including unhooking and photo. In the summer I don’t even like to remove fish from the water to unhook them if I can help it
Edit; just want to say the fish looks great and the reality is we are all probably responsible for a dead fish or two even if they swam away fine, that’s just a reality of c&R fishing and fishing for sustenance can have a 100% mortality rate for the fish. We have to accept that sometimes we can’t control it 100% but we can make the effort to ensure as many fish as possible swim away with the best chance of survival as possible. Please don’t be discouraged by my comment (not that you would be) just think of it as a nudge in the right direction to be the best fisherman/woman you can be
