I have a great idea for a fishing product.  It's a device which cradles a fish while you're taking a picture of it.  You would hang onto a handle on the back of the cradle, and the cradle would have two small flesh-colored rubber hands or fingers which extend around in front of the fish.  You would extend the fish towards the camera so your hands are positioned behind the fish.  All that would be visible are the tiny rubber hands, which would make the fish look much bigger than it really is.  With the help of my "Tiny Hands" device, you could make an 8 inch perch look like the picture shown below:



I could produce several different sizes of these "Tiny Hands" fish cradles, for use with different sizes of fish.  What do you think?  Could this idea make me rich?

i don't think "long-arming" is a common phenomenon. it's just that those accused of doing so just unfortunately happen to have Luda hands:

No thanks. You know what they say about guys with small hands...
My wife thinks fishing is merely guys wandering around like idiots swinging sticks in the air. Many of my trips prove how smart she really is.

  Good luck with your idea Pete.

Hey, some people probably thought the Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish was silly, and it made a lot of money.

You should sell them along with a 50% scale Hawg through.

I don't think people are trying to hate. I didn't think he was serious, and was just cracking a joke. (the interwebz don't translate tone, and I'm sorry if I offended )

Pete- if you seriously want to put this together, go for it. Most of us on here will pay over $1,000 for malformed garbage cans to float around on. The Chinese probably already have a mold for it and people will buy them. And you can laugh and wave at us, with your little hands, all the way to the bank.

  C'mon Rudy, you know I am not a hater. I'm all for innovative new ideas.

  Pete, if you can make it happen and get rich from "Tiny Hands" more power to you. Then I'll eat crow as you go to the bank with your next deposit waving "Tiny Hands" at the non-believers.

  Certainly crazier ideas have made the inventors millions of dollars. Think of al the examples-- pet rocks, hula hoops, Billy Bass and so many more.
  What are some of the craziest you can think of ???
  Have fun........
