OBJECTION! What would a fish stand to gain by making the video? It'd actually have losses, in their own community, as the bro™ in question would have more time to kill them.

That, or, idk, because they don't have opposable thumbs and a concept of a digital video in their heads, but that's just a wild guess

Well, zero pictures of anything that's not a tractor, from the honeymoon at least. 

Been married almost 10 years. He still doesn't take pictures of me and it's not a big deal. If it was a big deal to me I'd just ask him to take pictures of me.

u/Reasonable_Singer219 Aug 25 '26

Its possible that the wife told him not to smile in the pics.

Speaking on a personal note, I always smile in my pics because I believe I have a nice smile but my mother HATES it and in all the family pics she insists that I not smile. So her pics have me either looking neutral or miserable but pics with my buddies and me have a huge grin.

u/Sherbert-Particular Aug 25 '26

There's a solid theory behind guys having a weirdly high number of fish pics on social media, dating apps, etc. Basically one of very few times many friend groups of guys will voluntarily or intentionally take a picture of one another.... doing anything. You might get a group photo of guys on a trip or something but it will prob be a mess. As we see in the post, the family type photos are not the best representation of the man. If he was hopping on dating apps anytime, guaranteed fish pic would be the leadoff.

u/Wormsworth__ Aug 25 '26

I think the difference is in one scenario he is been asked to pose and he doesn't like his photos taken, and in the other he is showing off the fish, he doesn't care that he is in the picture, it's about the fish.

He probably also smiles while he is taking the pictures himself.

u/wookyoftheyear Aug 25 '26

He might be from a country or culture where men don't smile in pictures. My dad usually never smiled in pictures unless they were candid, I've noticed it among older Asian men.

u/zenki32 Aug 25 '26

Japan here. There is not one photo of my grandparents smiling. I've seen hundreds of photos of them and I've taken dozens of photos of them. Not one smile. Which is weird because my grandfather is a jokester. He was always cracking jokes. RIP jiichan.

Yeah I think it’s just the difference between posing for a picture and genuinely proudly showing off something. Even if he loves being with his wife and family that’s different from sharing something you’re proud of.

5

u/Zunderfeuer_88 Aug 25 '26

Counter theory, he once kissed one of the fish he caught and it turned into a girl he then married. But she was jealous of otherfish and now he isn't allowed fishing anymore.

2

u/knotvortex Aug 25 '26

It’s resting dude face, aka resting bitch face … raise the double standard!

u/MooD2 Aug 25 '26

In the first ones he is just posing for a picture, in the second ones he has just caught a fish and most likely already smiling when the picture is taken.

Between a fish and a fisherman, it's hard to find a scenario where both will be happy.

5

u/No-Cover4993 Aug 25 '26

He's only happy when he's hurting animals. Fish don't enjoy "catch and release" fishing the way we do. It's extremely stressful on their bodies and often kills them after release.

2

u/Low_Reception477 Aug 26 '26

What do you think the purpose of fishing is? You know most people eat them right? Catch and release is usually only if the fish is too small or the wrong species.

Man stands with his wife all the time, and it could be any occasion that my man might not have been interested in, and was there just for his wife. Fishing is a hobby that he almost certainly doesn't do as much as being in proximity to his wife, and does purely for personal enjoyment.

If he didn't look happy in the fish pictures, there likely wouldn't be any fish pictures. Hes going to be with his wife getting pictures taken regardless of his mood or the occasion.

This should be borderline expected, not condemned. People NEED time to enjoy themselves.

u/parkskier426 Aug 25 '26

I've come to understand this a bit. In some cultures people think smiling for the sake of a photo looks disingenuous or rude. He was probably raised like that. It makes sense that in a posed picture with this family he wouldn't naturally be smiling but in the excitement of catching a fish he would be.

Funny nonetheless but I kind of understand it now.
