I may have to go ahead and rig a livewell, so that I can take a toad to shore and set up for the picture there. I've looked at the oar lock and I think that I might be able to fashion some kind of camera mount that I can pivot out so that it's far enough away. I've made a quick drawing of it below...do you guys think this will work? I'd try to use an oar, but I just know that I'd accidentally dip the camera into the water at some point...I mean, I'm a guy who drops a bass that is within a pound of my PB into the water!
